Convert SLDPRT to EPRT

Understanding sldprt and eprt file formats

SLDPRT files are SolidWorks Part files, used to store 3D part models created in Dassault Systèmes' SolidWorks CAD software. These files contain detailed information about the geometry, features, and design history of a single part.

EPRT files are eDrawings Part files, a format developed by Dassault Systèmes for sharing 3D models in a lightweight, view-only format. EPRT files are typically used for collaboration, allowing users to view, measure, and annotate 3D models without needing the original CAD software.

How to convert sldprt to eprt

Converting a SLDPRT file to an EPRT file is commonly done to facilitate sharing and reviewing 3D models. The most reliable way to perform this conversion is by using SolidWorks with the eDrawings Publisher add-in, or the standalone eDrawings application.

Best software for sldprt to eprt conversion

• SolidWorks (with eDrawings Publisher): The native method for exporting SLDPRT files to EPRT.
• eDrawings (standalone): Allows opening SLDPRT files and saving them as EPRT.

Step-by-step conversion using SolidWorks

1. Open your SLDPRT file in SolidWorks.
2. Go to File → Save As.
3. In the Save as type dropdown, select eDrawings (*.eprt).
4. Click Save to export your file as an EPRT.

Step-by-step conversion using eDrawings

1. Open the eDrawings application.
2. Go to File → Open and select your SLDPRT file.
3. Once loaded, go to File → Save As.
4. Choose eDrawings Part File (*.eprt) as the file type.
5. Click Save to complete the conversion.

Tips and considerations

• EPRT files are view-only and cannot be edited like SLDPRT files.
• Ensure you have the necessary permissions to export or share proprietary designs.
• For batch conversions, consider using eDrawings Professional for automation features.
