Question

Solidworks compatibility

Hello,

On the website, it says how you can now view SolidWorks parts in Creo 3.0. I have followed the guides online as to how to do it, yet I am unable to open the file. I have the student edition for Creo 3.0, would this be why?

thank you

    I don't know what the student version comes with but you need the creo collaboration extension.

    You would likely get a better answer if Toby Metcalf‌ moved this question over to the academic support forum.

      ok, thank you Stephen.

      I am looking at the link but I am not seeing how to acquire that. When I go to export it says "license for ATB SolidWorks (Collaboration_Ext_SolidWorks) is not available. ATB operations are going to be ignored."

      Not sure on what to do at this point

      Good day -

      I have moved this to the Academic area to get the right eyes on it.

      Best,

      Toby

      Hi,

      1.]

      You do not need to have Solidworks collaboration extension to be able to open Solidworks models.

      2.]

      Every commercial license contains Creo Unite module (code 336). This module enables you to open Solidworks models.

      Please check your license file located in C:\ProgramData\PTC\Licensing directory.

      3.]

      Solidworks 2016 models can be opened in Creo Parametric 3.0 M100, only.
