Uploadable File Formats

Upload file formats are limited to whatever you can open with SOLIDWORKS.

In SOLIDWORKS, save your file with the appropriate file type. You can upload the following formats:

Parts/Assemblies - .sldprt, .sldasm, .sat, .step, .igs, .x_b, .x_t, .prt, and .asm
Features - .sldlfp
Blocks - .sldblk
Macros - .swp

To upload an Autodesk model, you must first export it from Autodesk in the .sat, .step, or .igs format.

Non-native models appear as imported bodies when downloaded and opened with SOLIDWORKS. The features will not be visible.

Search 'Uploadable File Formats' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
