We have two seats of Solidworks Professional. I have aproblem that I am unable to find a solution for and I am hopingsome of you have a similar problem and better yet, a solution...
It seems inevitable that I sometimes miss a dimension on a drawing,or fail to export a parasolid for use in the shop. Sometimessomeone needs to access a model and verify a dimension, andothertimes someone needs a model for CNC machining. Sometimes theyare able to snag a floating license, open SolidWorks, get what theyneed and close SolidWorks. Other times, much more often than not,the two floating licenses are in use. When that's the case, theycome to me and I give them what they need.
Do I really need to purchase another seat just for these twopurposes? Is there a program that will give them the ability toconvert a SolidWorks file to a parasolid or step file other thansolidworks? Maybe there is a super-limited version of SolidWorksavailable?
What is everybody else doing? Am I missing somethingobvious?SolidworksImport export
