[RAHUL]

Dear WC GURUS,

How to Open .prt or .ASM existing WIndchill file in WGM Solidworks in solidworks2016, Any suggestions or need to follow any specific process.

(Getting this error :

Failed to open in SolidWorks 2016: lp-tm-p-test-clamp-115.prt. <C:\Users\eb010956\Documents\PTC Places\Workspace\lp-tm-p-test-clamp-115.prt> does not exist.

)

All open suggestion are welcome.

I don' t think this is a supported use case for WGM. WGM doesn't allow you to open Creo authored files in SW. The last time I tried, It doesn't even allow neutral files created in Creo to be opened in SW

Rahul - @BineshKumar1 is corrrect. This use-case is not really supported. If you can elaborate on the use-case and what you are trying to accomplish, we might suggest some alternate workflows. 

You should be able to export / Save A Copy >> SolidWorks from Creo (you will need the Collaboration Extension for SolidWorks licenses in Creo) and then open that in SolidWorks via the WGM.

Thanks,

Mark
