Hi,  
I’d like to know if I can export from shapr3d into .dxf or .dwg as I read it was in your plan for 2017.  
Another question in case the answer is affermative, is the transfer possible directly or do I need to use another programme?  
Many thanks

Hi -

we are on a delay in this front. The release of 3.0 slid a couple of months. .dwg import is definitely in our short-term plans, but it won’t happen in 2017 unfortunately. As soon as we have a possible ETA, I’ll let you know.

Hi,  
Thank you. I’m looking forward to it.

Does Sharpr3d export to Solid Work?  
Thanks  
Paolo

Yes, Shapr3D exports to SolidWorks.

You can either choose these formats:

1. Parasolid (XT)
2. STEP

And import any of these directly to SW.

We recommend the first format (XT) for exchange with SolidWorks.
