Error opening Creo 3.0 files in Creo Elements Direct

[akrauskopf]

I am unable to open Creo 3.0 .prt or .asm files in Creo Elements Direct 18.1.  The error message I am getting is "Native Granite Import failed.  Error returned from Granite-LoadModel functionality".  Any suggestions?

Hi,

http://www.ptc.com/cs/help/creo_elements_direct_hc/modeling_180_hc/index.jspx?id=OSDM_Main-ProE_Granite_import_options&a… page contains following text:

Limitations

You can import parts (*.prt) or assemblies (*.asm) that are created in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0 and later versions up to Creo Parametric 5.0. You cannot import parts or assemblies created in versions before Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 2.0. To import parts or assemblies created in an older version, recreate the parts or assemblies in the latest version of Creo Parametric and then import the recreated parts or assemblies.

This means that Creo Elements Direct 18.1 is not able to open Creo 3.0 files.

This means that Creo Elements Direct 19.0 is able to open Creo 3.0 files.

I am marking Martin's answer as Correct Answer as it appears to be an apt interpretation of the documentation.
