Solidworks to Creo
So I have imported a part from Solidworks to Creo and I no longer have access to the Solidworks account. How do I check the dimensions of the part in Creo, even though it was originally saved as a Solidworks part?
Thanks!

When you import a SW part it is a "dumb solid" in Creo, i.e. the design intent of the feature history and dimensions etc. are no longer explicitly defined in a manner that can be accessed in Creo. Assuming you have the 3D solid model, and you want to create a drawing with dimensions the best course of action is to create annotation dimensions on the 3D model geometry for the dimensions required. if you just need the dimensions then you may not need to create a 2D drawing.
Depending on what you need to do with the geometry from this import, it may make sense to rebuild it as native Creo features in a new part.
