Does anyone out there have experience bringing 3D Pro-Engineer files into 3DS- Any comments are appreciated. Cal Rodgers

You could use stereolithography .STL / .SLA file format as the exchange medium: export from ProE, then import using our STL IPAS routine into 3DS. The downside is you lose all sub-objects and material info.

What is the price on the STL IPAS routine? We are mostly concerned with getting the geometry over. Thanks for your response, Cal Rodgers

john, i'd also be interested in the STL IPAS routine… i'd be bringing STL files in from Hewlett-Packard's Solid-Designer solid modelling package… i assume the geometry should transfer accurately… is there any "clean-up" work that needs to be done after bringing the data into 3ds? could you let me know how to obtain the IPAS routine… cost… etc…? thanks, joe

Yes, the geometry matches very well, since STL is all triangles, just like 3DS. For more info, please call (414) 674-5200.
