any word on scdoc files?

Hi Walter - Onshape will read native file formats only from the most common CAD platforms - for SpaceClaim please export in SAT format first.

Hi @NeilCooke why would you choose sat over parasolid? Is related to spaceclaim?

When importing I find you get better results from parasolid. SAT will sometime split up curved faces.

NeilCooke

I only say that because SpaceClaim uses the ACIS kernel (SAT), not sure if it can export Parasolid?

@NeilCooke thought that might have been the case.
