Export File: Recommended Techniques
I need to share files, be they parts or complete models, with mutliple vendors all of which seem to use varying CAD platforms. So the simple questions is: For those that are doing the same, what formats do you use for sending parts & assemblies over to:
1) SolidWorks
2) ProE
3) AutoCad
What prompts this question is that I sent an assembly to a customer that uses SolidWorks and it sounds as if on importing the assembly, the constraints were not applied correctly or were lost.
As a side note, the reverse of this also holds true. I get SolidWorks models that will open with anything EXCEPT Alibre. Any comments on how to instruct a SW person to save a model before sending it to me would also be grealty appreciated.
