Question

Maybe like converting .sldprt to stl or step file outside solidworks. I dont want to create this using a plugin for solidworks..

I know that visualization data is public but the original geometry and brep data is stored in proprietary format of solidworks..

Was it helpful?

Solution

Varun,

SolidWorks provides source code of the project named display-lists that provide functionality to extract tesselation info from SW files without the SW software itself. Check it out here: https://forum.solidworks.com/docs/DOC-2323
