Information
A. Type of Files
- In general, ZIP these files for transfer.
- Graphicast uses Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks
- RFQs: We prefer a 2-D drawing with tolerances (can be an electronic file or a hard copy). A 3-D model is always helpful and complements quoting to a 2-D toleranced drawing.
2-D Drawings
- Pro/E (.drw with .frm and .prt or .asm)
- SolidWorks (.slddrw)
- AutoCAD (.dwg) or DXF (.dxf)
- Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)
3-D Drawings
- (Solid) Pro/Engineer “Part” (.prt) suppress most features to reduce file size (we will “resume”).
- SolidWorks model (.sldprt)
- STEP (Solid, from non Pro/E system) (.stp)
- IGES surface model (omit wireframe) (.igs)
