import solidworks files on onshape

neroz

Hi!

I try to put my solidworks files on onshape, but I have the error "translation failed"


With solidworks (2013 and 2015) I created the zip files with the function pack and go. I follow this video but it does work with me.
Do you have some solution?

Best,

Did you ensure the filename of your "Pack and Go" zip was exactly the same as the name of the top level assembly model it contained?

I am having the same problem. I checked that my top level assy has the exact name as my zip file. But still no luck with the translation. Please help! I need more ideas on what I'm doing wrong.

Any idea how to fix this? What am I doing srong?

The quickest way to resolve this would be to share your document with Onshape support and submit a Feedback ticket (under the "Help" menu within the CAD document)
