I have downloaded file as asm and i cant open it in solidworks

2 Answer

Yes, SolidWorks can open Pro/ENGINEER (.ASM and .PRT) files, but follow these steps to ensure it works properly:

1. Enable the Pro/ENGINEER Translator

a. Open SolidWorks.
b. Go to Tools → Add-Ins.
c. Check "Pro/ENGINEER Translator" or "3D Interconnect" (depending on version).
d. Click OK.

2. Open the .ASM File Correctly

a. Go to File → Open.
b. In the file type dropdown, choose:
- Pro/ENGINEER Files (*.asm; *.prt) or
- All Files (*.*)
c. Browse to your Air bag complete.asm file.
d. Important: Make sure the .PRT component files are in the same folder as the .ASM.
e. Click Open.

3. Choose Import Options (If Prompted)
- You may be asked how you want to import the file:
- As SolidWorks Parts and Assemblies (recommended)
- As Graphics Body (for viewing only)
- Confirm and proceed.

Troubleshooting Tips

- Missing parts? Ensure all related .PRT files are present in the same directory.

- Can’t see the file type? Enable 3D Interconnect in System Options → Import.

- Still won't open? Convert the .ASM and .PRT to .STEP using another CAD tool.
