Convert EPRT to PRT

Understanding EPRT and PRT file formats

The EPRT file format is primarily associated with eDrawings, a software used for sharing and viewing CAD files. EPRT files are a type of eDrawing file specifically for parts, allowing users to view and interact with 3D models without needing the original CAD software. On the other hand, the PRT file format is commonly used by various CAD programs, such as NX, SolidWorks, and Pro/ENGINEER, to store 3D part models. PRT files contain detailed information about the part's geometry, materials, and other design elements.

Why convert EPRT to PRT?

Converting an EPRT file to a PRT file can be necessary for several reasons. If you need to edit a part model in a CAD program that supports PRT files, converting the EPRT file allows you to access and modify the design. Additionally, sharing a PRT file with colleagues or clients who use different CAD software can facilitate collaboration and ensure compatibility.

Best software for EPRT to PRT conversion

One of the best software options for converting EPRT to PRT is SolidWorks. SolidWorks can open EPRT files and save them in various formats, including PRT. To convert an EPRT file to a PRT file in SolidWorks, follow these steps:

• Open SolidWorks and go to File → Open.
• Select the EPRT file you wish to convert.
• Once the file is open, navigate to File → Save As.
• Choose the PRT format from the list of available file types.
• Click Save to complete the conversion.

Another option is to use a dedicated file conversion tool like Spin 3D or AnyCAD Exchange3D, which can handle various CAD file conversions, including EPRT to PRT.
