Convert PAR to SLDPRT

Understanding PAR and SLDPRT file formats

The PAR file format is associated with Solid Edge, a 3D CAD software used for creating detailed 3D models and assemblies. PAR files specifically store part files, which are individual components of a larger assembly. On the other hand, the SLDPRT file format is used by SolidWorks, another popular 3D CAD software. SLDPRT files also represent part files, containing 3D object data that can be used in assemblies.

How to convert PAR to SLDPRT

Converting a PAR file to an SLDPRT file involves using software that can read both file formats and perform the conversion. This process is essential for users who need to work across different CAD platforms.

Best software for PAR to SLDPRT conversion

One of the best software options for converting PAR to SLDPRT is Solid Edge itself, as it can export files to formats compatible with SolidWorks. To perform the conversion, follow these steps:

• Open the PAR file in Solid Edge.
• Go to File → Save As.
• Select the desired format, such as a neutral format like STEP or IGES, which can be imported into SolidWorks.
• Open the exported file in SolidWorks and save it as an SLDPRT file.

Another option is to use a dedicated file conversion tool like CrossManager, which supports direct conversion between various CAD formats, including PAR to SLDPRT.
