Can Pro-E drawings be read by SolidWorks??

Can pro-e and SW dwgs be read and manipulated by each other??

TIA

Don't think so. The 2d stuff depends on export formats like IGES, STEP and DXF. SW and Pro/e can read and write to common export formats. Parts/assemblies are another matter. SW can supposedly read Pro/e files and Pro/e has a Catia translator built in. Since Dassault Systemes owns both Catia and SW, the translator might work on SW files. Don't know how well all of this works, limitations, what is preserved or lost.

I'm pretty sure that if you go back to Pro/E 17? SW could open Pro/E files... PTC quickly nailed that door shut!

What about the ATB? There's a way to work with some other CAD systems... Ask your sales guy.

No, but you can export Pro/E-drawings to several formats: DXF, DWG, IGES, SET, CGM and STEP.
