Question

PTC Parametric not showing certain SolidWorks Files

Hello,

 

Our robotics team recently started using Actobotic parts in our robot.Since we wanted to create a model of it in PTC Creo, we decided to search for pre-made files of actobotic pieces.

 

The issue is that some parts that we have installed from this link - 3D ContentCentral ‌- just won't show up in Creo.

One of these pieces is the channel. No matter how many times we try, ptc just won't open the file. We have installed these parts in the .prt file type, and my computer recognizes these pieces as PTC Parametric Compatible files.

We have tried looking around, and we don't know if this actually did anything, but we also installed a program called SolidWorks Explorer. But it didn't help in the end.

Something that I think may be the problem is that these Chassis files are 20 mb, and maybe Creo can't open files at this size.

 

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

Hi,

I can't upload model from 3D ContentCentral, because it needs login. Please can you upload the model to this discussion ?

See How to Attach a File to a Discussion Reply for upload instructions.

File name problem?

Yes, I believe the problem I have been experiencing might be due to the fact that the file name was too long.
