SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect: Seamless Collaboration Between CAD Platforms

SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect is a revolutionary technology that allows a user to directly open files and use models from other native CAD systems in their native format.

This groundbreaking new capability, introduced as part of SOLIDWORKS 2017, allows you to unlock powerful new workflows for easier collaboration with your customers and vendors.

With 3D Interconnect you can now:

  • Maintain direct integration of the native CAD files from PTC® Creo®, Autodesk® Inventor®, Siemens® NX, SolidEdge®, and CATIA®, and treat them like native components.
  • Avoid fixing errors or problems due to SOLIDWORKS awareness of all components in the native CAD files, like face and edge IDs.
  • Directly open imported files and treat them like Base Parts, so you can freely make design modifications without affecting the native file.
  • Update both part and assembly files as design changes take place with Update Model feature.

Whether you work with other companies using different CAD systems or you’re switching CAD systems, 3D Interconnect allows you to work with the native file format directly in SOLIDWORKS like never before.
