    Make sure you have a solid in the solidworks file. Might try saving it as V17 parasolid and see if that works.

    The issue is most likey that you are running X2 and not X2 Mr2 as this one supports SW 2008 and Mr1 and X2 supported 2007. outputing the parasolid 17 was supported for a while.

    Are you just running X2 or later and I am going to ask are you on Maintence?
