Exporting Assembly for work in SolidWorks

tony_459

I have an assembly that's grown much too large for Onshape. I'm stalled. I'm clearly hitting a resource limit over and over and over, and progress, when I don't run into errors, comes very slow. 
I won't be able to finish this model here. I'm sure of it. So... I need to export it to finish elsewhere. SolidWorks, Inventor, Creo.
Can I export all of my parts and all of my assemblies in a usable, editable format? What's the quickest way to do this?
Thanks!

Hi Tony - you can export all of your documents by right-clicking the top-level assembly and selecting export, followed by the format your target system will accept (Parasolid for SolidWorks, ACIS for Inventor, STEP for Creo). They will be parts with no features and assemblies with no mates (as with all translations between CAD systems). I know you have been having issues with some of your documents but, as suggested, there are better/more efficient ways to manage your projects. If you have free access to SolidWorks, Inventor and Creo then you are in the fortunate position to be able to compare each system to see which one suits your needs best.
