Rhino to SolidWorks
Many consumer products start as one of many concepts done by a designer trying to achieve a unique aesthetic look. One of the most popular tools for 3D conceptual design is Rhino. Typically engineers have tried to take a designer’s concept from Rhino and complete the detail in SolidWorks using IGES translation. Starting with SolidWorks 2007 users may now open Rhino files directly into SolidWorks
In SolidWorks 2007 you can:
• Open files directly from the SolidWorks open file dialog
• Import Rhino files into a current SolidWorks part
• Edit the definition of a Rhino feature for replacement with another Rhino file.
• Invoke editing a Rhino surface directly from SolidWorks and once edited returns the update surface to SolidWorks

This is a huge step in eliminating time wasted when moving from concept to production design
