IronCAD -> SolidWorks using FeatureWorks

Just wondering whether anyone has had experience bringing IronCAD files into SolidWorks and what kind of results they had? I'll probably have an opportunity later this week to try translating a moderately complex assembly, and I'll want to use FeatureWorks to try to recoup parametric flexibility. Is it best to translate out from IronCAD using IGES? Step? ACIS? Does IronCAD translate out Parasolid? Does it work to translate out from the assembly file, or must one individually tranlate out parts?

TIA 'Sporkyman'

Hi Spork,

Ironcad 3.0 and up will output Parasolid. IC doesn't have an assembly environment. All parts, whether 1 or 1000 live in a "scene". SW will recognize a multi part parasolid as an assembly.

Regards

Mark
