Converting Pro/e file to rhino

[Coen]

Dear Sirs/madams,

We, at our company, are currently busy building a boom for a large sailing yacht. The designer has drawn and engineered the boom in Pro/e wildfire 2.0. At the yard we have Rhino 3.0 available.

My question is: does anybody know how we can convert an assembly in Pro/e or does anybody have or know a conversion program so we can open the file in rhino, using a .3DM extension. We have tried exporting in .IGES in Pro/e, but the assembly gets all cooked up and all 'help lines' in the file get exported as well, so the drawing is too complex to use.

If anybody can help me, please let me know.

Kind regards,


Coen Meerbach

I d try in STEP format, should work better.

Thanks for your quick reply.

We tried this before but the results weren't as we hoped. I'll try again and use several different options and maybe this could help.

If anyone has other ideas I'll be willing to hear them.

Kind regards,

Okino says that they can convert any file, other way to go is to export only certain number of parts at the time, there is no "clean" way to go, specially in large assemblies rhino will choke most of the time. so i think try Okino or save like i mentioned certain numbers of parts at a time (use step)
