MULTICAx SolidWorks (S) Plug-in in a Nutshell
The MULTICAx SolidWorks (S) Plug-in allows users to import: SolidWorks native data (part and assembly models). This import converts SolidWorks part geometry into the CATIA Graphical Representation (CGR) or CATPart formats, which renders it readable by V5. The MULTICAx S Plug-in imports SolidWorks assembly files into a V5 product structure document. Users can perform this import interactively or from the command line. Parasolid formats (.x_t and .x_b): parts only. VDA-FS data (*.vda): parts only.
