Use this menu option to import a SolidWorks .sldprt file containing a solid model into PartMaker. When PartMaker has imported the model, it is displayed in the Solids window, and a model item is added to the Job Explorer.
Select this menu option to display the Import SolidWorks Part File dialog and select the file you want to import.
When you have imported the solid model into PartMaker, you may want to extract machinable edges and other geometric data from the model or use it for performing surface machining.
Note: You do not need to have SolidWorks installed on your machine to use this option.
