How to export a model from SolidWorks to Google SketchUp

How to export a model from SolidWorks to Google SketchUp

While Google SketchUp is not a professional CAD tool it has the advantage of being free and, because of that, it is used by a large number of people. Recently, some of my customers were asked by their own customers to supply SolidWorks models for review in SketchUp format.

There is one problem with this request – none of file formats that SolidWorks can export to are on the SketchUp import list. There are commercial converters from SolidWorks to SketchUp but they come at a cost.

SolidWorks to Google SketchUp Process

Fortunately, we found a way to exchange data between SolidWorks and SketchUp – just follow this workflow:

1. Save your SolidWorks model as ACIS (.SAT extension).

Save as ACIS

Note: Make sure that the Options are set as per this image:

Save As Options

2. Open DraftSight. If you have not installed this free 2D Editor, please use this link for doing so: Download DraftSight

3. In DraftSight’s command line type: “IMPORTSAT” and press <ENTER>. Locate the ACIS file you saved at step #1 and import it in DraftSight.

Import the ACIS file into DraftSight

4. Save this file again in DWG format.

5. Open SketchUp

6. Import the DWG file you saved at STEP #4.

Import DWG into SketchUp

7. That’s all. You have successfully imported your SolidWorks model into SketchUp.

Congratulations! You did it!

vue 自定义组件 v-model双向绑定、 父子组件同步通信

父子组件通信,都是单项的,很多时候需要双向通信.方法如下: 1.父组件使用:msg.sync="aa"  子组件使用$emit('update:msg', 'msg改变后的值xxx') 2.父组件传值直接传对象,子组件收到对象后可随意改变对象的属性,但不能改变对象本身. 3.父组件使用: v-model 第一种曾经被废除过,由于维护成本的原因被删掉,但经过证实,确实有存在的意义,又被加上. 第一种: 父组件: <template> <div> <aa cl

.net解决数据导出excel时的格式问题

在项目中一般都需要将报表数据导出到EXCEL中,但经常出现导出长串数据(如身份证)到EXCEL中后显示为科学计数法的格式,或者报表中显示为001的数据导出到Excel后成了1的格式. 下面简单介绍一下以上问题的解决方法: 1.首先,了解一下excel从web页面上导出的原理.当我们把这些数据发送到客户端时,我们想让客户端程序(浏览器)以excel的格式读 取它,所以把mime类型设为:application/vnd.ms-excel,当excel读取文件时会以每个cell的格式呈现数据,如果 c
