[REQ] 3DS Import Plugin for SolidWorks

[overl0ad3r]

Hello,

Anyone have a full version of a .3DS import plugin for SolidWorks and can share it here ?

Like the Sycode "3DS Import for SolidWorks"
http://www.sycode.com/products/3ds_import_sw/index.htm

I need to import the 3D model of PCB designs made in Proteus Ares so can i test it with my case design.

Proteus Ares can export in .STL and .IDF, but importing these formats in SolidWorks don't work very well.

Thanks

Well, since the trial is fully featured for 7 days perhaps you could try using some of the date crackers. Or you could ask some of the knowledgeable guys like bunion to try and fix it.

The 7 day trial is also payed. Anyway, i cracked it , but it did not worked with .3DS files from Proteus Ares. Solidworks freezes when loading the file (not a problem with the patch i've made, as it loads smaller files perfectly).

The solution is to export the PCB in .IDF format and import in SolidWorks.

Thanks anyway.
