The SolidWorks® CAD system is one of the Productivity+™ CAD importers.
Productivity+ allows users to import a solid model which can then be used to generate a probe routine. Standard software supports the use of STEP, IGES and Parasolid file formats. To maximize the flexibility of your Productivity+ application, additional CAD importers can be purchased to extend the range of supported solid model file types.
Currently available CAD importers support models created in:
•Creo Elements/Pro (Pro/E)
•CATIA
•NX/Unigraphics
•ACIS
•SolidWorks
•Autodesk Inventor
