[rohit_rajan]

the import option for catia,solidworks,inventor,unigraphics is also available in creo 2.0.

i think the open option in creo 3.0 is the big thing!

There must be a catch... I certainly cannot open these.

Antonius,

you have to install Solidworks Explorer, Inventor, NX, CATIA on the same PC as Creo Parametric 2.0 to be able to open native files. And also in case of CATIA you need the license of special Creo module.

Interesting. Just install the SW explorer and Creo sees the Solidworks files?

[MartinHanak]

Antonius,

you are right. But there is a catch ... only 32-bit version of Solidworks Explorer is available on official web page. It works in combination with Creo Parametric 2.0 32-bit, only. If you use Creo Parametric 2.0 64-bit, you will need 64-bit version of Solidworks Explorer ... . But where to get it ?
