Experience I've been in the 3D/2D CAD industry for 10 yrs. & also had the opportunity/exposure to operate with several mainstream design packages. I've assisted many firms facilitate their 3D migration process.
Question We have thousands of drawing that have been done using Solid Works 2001. I want chnage them to Solid Edge (V18).
Is there a way to convert them over, be it draft or 3D?
Is there a common file type (ie dwg) that both can read and write?
Can I buy a program to change the drawings over?
Any other information would be greatly appreciated.
best regards

Answer I'm not really familiar w/ Solid Edge. However, If you have SolidWorks Office, you should have the SolidWorks Task Scheduler in order to export to IGES.
1. View/Options (Set the export settings desired for the IGES filetypes)
2. Export Files> "from the side bar or pulldown" and select the desired directories.
