Convert PRT to EPRT

Understanding PRT and EPRT file formats

The PRT file format is commonly associated with CAD software, specifically used for 3D modeling and design. It is a part file format that contains detailed information about a 3D model, including its geometry, dimensions, and other design elements. On the other hand, the EPRT file format is an eDrawings file, which is a lightweight representation of a CAD model. EPRT files are used for sharing and viewing 3D models without the need for the original CAD software, making them ideal for collaboration and review purposes.

How to convert PRT to EPRT

Converting a PRT file to an EPRT file involves using software that can read the PRT format and export it as an EPRT file. This conversion is useful for sharing designs with stakeholders who do not have access to the original CAD software.

Best software for PRT to EPRT conversion

The best software for converting PRT to EPRT is SolidWorks. SolidWorks is a comprehensive CAD software that supports both PRT and EPRT file formats. To convert a PRT file to an EPRT file in SolidWorks, follow these steps:

• Open the PRT file in SolidWorks.
• Go to the File menu and select Save As.
• In the Save as type dropdown menu, select eDrawings (*.eprt).
• Click Save to export the file as an EPRT.

Another option is to use the eDrawings Publisher, which is a tool specifically designed for creating eDrawings files from various CAD formats, including PRT.
