Import a SOLIDWORKS sketch
To save you time, you can import a SolidWorks sketch directly onto a Part.
We use the SOLIDWORKS API, which can be slow. Therefore, we recommend that you do not import a very large sketch.
Limits:
We ... •can import Lines, Arcs, Slots, Polygons, Rectangles, ... •can import construction and center-lines, but as Lines in MechDesigner. •cannot import Parabolas, Ellipses, Splines, •cannot import Constraints or Dimensions Before you import ... •explode Blocks •dissolve Text entities - but we strongly recommend you do NOT import text After you import the sketch, we: •lock the end-points of the Line and Arc entities. To unlock points, see Point Properties dialog. * BUG Reported in MD17-1-158 - If you try to import a Block or Text, then MechDesigner will Crash. Corrected MD17-1-164 |
Note:
As an alternative, or you do not have SOLIDWORKS, you import or open a DXF file, link it to a CAD-Line, and then convert the DXF-Entities to Lines and Arcs. |
