Additional Information Supported for Reading from Third-Party Native CAD Files SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect reads the following additional information from third-party native CAD files: Assembly cut features Custom properties Material properties Unconsumed sketches and curves Reference axes from CATIA® V5 files only. Contents Assembly Cut Features SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect can read assembly cut features from PTC® Creo and UG files. Custom Properties SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect can read custom properties, metadata, or user-defined attributes from third-party native CAD files and map them to the custom properties of SOLIDWORKS. Material Properties SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect can read the material properties from third-party native CAD files. SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect reads only the material name and density attributes. Unconsumed Sketches and Curves SOLIDWORKS 3D Interconnect can read unconsumed sketches or curve data from third-party native CAD files. Unconsumed sketches are sketches that are not consumed by any feature. These sketches read the curve data from third-party native CAD files and form single 2D or 3D sketches.
