Question

Unite Technology


I have Creo 3 M010 loaded on my machine. I want to open up a Solidworks model into my session and I am getting the following error:

License for ATB SolidWorks (Collaboration_Ext_SolidWorks) is not available. ATB operations are going to be ignored.

This is what Unite Technology specified on their datasheet:
Open SolidWorks®, CATIA® and NXTM files directly in PTC Creo without the need for additional software Import SolidWorks, CATIA, NX, Solid Edge® and Autodesk® Inventor® files into PTC Creo without the need for additional software

Do I need a special license or module? or I should be able to do this out of the box.

I hope somebody alreade answered to your question, but if not...


The Unite technology that will allow you to open NX, Catia or SW files without conversion/translation is awailable starting in M030. I have noticed that you are testing M010.

I have downloaded Creo 3 M030, it will open Solidworks 2014 but not 2015 yet.

In Solidworks 2015 can you save back to Solidworks 2014 ?

I don't see any options under 'save-as' in SW 2015 to specify the version number, so I would say no, at least in my version (SW 2015 Standard)

Hi there, we've seen this same message while trying to open a Solidworks file with Creo 3 M030 and M040 - though M020 doesn't show it.

License for ATB SolidWorks (Collaboration_Ext_SolidWorks) is not available. ATB operations are going to be ignored

I'm about to open a PTC Case to ask why open is not possible - this module should only be required for saving.
