Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
Is there a way to import a file from solidworks to VcarvePro and have all the diminsions be the same as in solidworks?
Thanks

Try exporting an .stl from Solidworks.

Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
I tried exporting both DFX and DRG extensions and neither one would be the same dimensions as the original SW file.Originally Posted by daniellyall

Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
If you are modeling in inches, the exports are probably in mm's.

No both inches.
Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
How much are the dimensions off?

Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
I tried to bring in a STL file but .STL wasn’t an option to open in VCP?
I’ll see if I still have the other files and how many inches it was.
Thanks Ger

Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
I attached the file from a Dwg format, originally it is about 60" in the X axis but when I bring it in it is roughly 5.5".
don't understand why it is reducing the size, original file was in SolidWorks.
thanks Ger

Re: Import a solidworks file into VcarvePro
Because you are exporting a drawing page. It says right on it that it's scaled 20:1.
You need to create the views in your drawing at 1:1 scale.
