#### Import a SolidWorks Part File

Note: When you import a SolidWorks part into PC-DMIS, PC-DMIS creates attributes in the SolidWorks part file. These attributes are required to allow PC-DMIS to match imported CAD objects back to their original SolidWorks’ representations.

1. Select the File | Direct CAD Interfaces ® | Pro/ENGINEER menu option. An Open dialog box appears.

2. Select SolidWorks DCI from the Files of type list.

3. Navigate to the directory containing the SolidWorks file.

4. Select the SolidWorks part (a file with a .SLDPRT or .SLDASM extension).

5. Click Import. This dialog box closes.

6. PC-DMIS imports the selected file.

7. Use PC-DMIS as usual.
