Got some Solidworks Files need HELP

Post by Ronald Reome »

Hi got some SOLIDWORKS files however they are .AMF, .crg, IGS, .SAT, .x_t, .prt.1, file formats. How do I get these file formats to work on ASPIRE? Or changed over to other file formats that will work on ASPIRE? Thanks for your Input

Use your favorite internet search engine and look for IGS to STL converter

There are some online tools available.

If you have access to Rhinoceros you can bring the IGES file into Rhino. Then save it as a Rhino native 3DM format to import into Aspire. (Avoids the nasty polygon meshes that STL files become.)
