Solidworks interface?

CadAce2K

Hi,

Is anyone doing exports to Solidworks? Our engineer would like to export all the layers from Allegro to solidworks. The simple export seems to work, but it doesn't capture everything he wants. Is anyone doing anything like this?

Help.  Slight smile

  • I use Solidwaokswith all my designs for assembly documentation allegro 16.6 latest hotfix.

    Generally just the STEP output feature, which I have problems from time to time (FreeCAD solves this issue).

    I have had to create DXF files off allayers and then import into solidworks for vendor footprint verification, works great,  I have seen no issues.

  • We do dxf import/export to Solidworks not problem.

    We have issues trying to import/export idf data to Solidworks

  • We only export STEP for Solidworks which happens to be what we do mechanical and thermal CAD work on.  The older exports did not include internal copper but everything else was OK.  The latest version of Allegro exports internal copper as well.  And as stated, you can do DXF import if needed on layers.
