Worked well on first try of a fairly complicated housing for a medical device. My coworker was able to import directly into 3DMAX with very few problems. The second part I tried to export failed. I tried several resolutions. Solidworks kept crashing. May be that I am using SW2011. I finally set it on lowest resolution, but the 3DMAX import was distorted and useless.

Opinion Good plug-in. Working with SW2008. Very limited trial. 10 items only were converted. I can not buy it for one use for personal home design.

Quadrilateral Mesh I think this add-in would be greatly improved if there was an option for quadrilateral meshes rather than, or in addition to, triangular...

Lack of Color and x64 edition It worked fine in exporting files to 3DS format. The parts came in one color, even when our part had multiple colors for different faces. It will be better of the resulting file preserves the colors of the original SolidWorks.It was not able to added as a Add-In into SolidWorkd x64 edition. I think it is the way how the installation is done.

high res? not high enough When the export is imported into 3d studio max at its highest resolution the result is far from a smooth result. The model wasn't to a high resolution.

Doesn`t work I tried several different SolidWorks objects and the conversion was incomplete, so I could not use the output. I gave the interface a "fair" score because it seems intuitive. If the incomplete conversion was related to settings, then I'd suggest the interface is the problem. I gave both features and price/value a score of "poor" because it didn't convert properly. If it did, I'd rate the price/value a "fair" as I believe $195 for a conversion routine is about 5x too high. It is easy to use once installed as an addin. So that got my best rating.

this is does not work I try it to import .3ds but it only worked with .3dm extention

short trial for Metaseq 2.4.2 Trying to import model to Metaseq 2.4.2, first trial is relatively good. should be improve with much bigger 3D models and more time.

Error in Plugin i used the plugin but couldnt export to 3ds, when i tried, it came an error and didnt export it, so i instead used the obj import/export for trial

mesh quality Quality of the exported model insufficiently good. Exporter uses too big poligons to build a mesh. Well to understand, how to adjust quality.

Opinion. Installed and worked like a charm.

Solidworks - dxf - cnc laser Hi i tried your software but unfortunately the cnc laser read the dxf as a 3d dxf so would not cut the plates.RegardsMichael Woods

Automated Conversion for Sheet Metal Patterns Hello:I'm not sure this product can do this but here it goes. I need to automatically create a DXF version 1:1 scale of all SolidWorks sheet metal parts created during the work day. My hope is to search for the 'Flat-Pattern' item on the SolidWorks model Feature Tree, unsuppress it temporarily and use DXF Export program to make a DXF file that can used by our CNC Burn machines. Am willing to do some VBA programming to make this happen. Thanks.=>RJM

Get the job done. Works well, highly recommend to anyone!

Using DXF Export - One problem Maybe my fault but I could not figure out how to export and keep the same scale. In Autocad, the opened 3D solid DXF would have measurements that were way off. Did I do something wrong? Thanks Chris

Easy to use, great tool Easy to use, great tool, but it's expensive
