Convert SLDASM to EPRT

Understanding sldasm and eprt file formats

SLDASM is the file extension for SolidWorks Assembly files, which are used to store 3D assembly data in the SolidWorks CAD software. These files reference multiple part files (SLDPRT) and contain information about how these parts fit together in a 3D space.

EPRT is a file format associated with eDrawings, a lightweight viewing format developed by Dassault Systèmes. EPRT files are used to share 3D part and assembly data for viewing, markup, and collaboration without exposing the original CAD data.

Why convert sldasm to eprt?

Converting SLDASM to EPRT allows users to share complex assemblies with stakeholders who do not have access to SolidWorks. EPRT files are secure, compact, and can be viewed using the free eDrawings Viewer, making them ideal for collaboration and review.

How to convert sldasm to eprt

The most reliable way to convert SLDASM to EPRT is by using SolidWorks with the eDrawings Publisher add-in, or directly through the eDrawings application. Here’s how you can do it:

1. Open your SLDASM file in SolidWorks.
2. Go to File → Save As.
3. In the Save as type dropdown, select eDrawings (*.eprt).
4. Click Options to adjust export settings if needed (such as including all referenced parts).
5. Click Save to export your assembly as an EPRT file.

Alternatively, you can use the eDrawings application:

1. Open the SLDASM file in eDrawings.
2. Go to File → Save As and choose eDrawings Part File (*.eprt).
3. Save the file to your desired location.

Best software for sldasm to eprt conversion

• SolidWorks (with eDrawings Publisher add-in)
• eDrawings Professional

Both options are developed by Dassault Systèmes and ensure the highest compatibility and fidelity during conversion. Free online converters are not recommended due to the proprietary nature of SLDASM files and potential security concerns.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure all referenced part files (SLDPRT) are available and in the correct locations.
• Check export options to include all necessary assembly data and configurations.
• Test the resulting EPRT file in eDrawings Viewer to verify accuracy.
