Open DFT files: Solid Edge plans without Solid Edge

3D Design Volume Model

Hi all

Do you know if it's possible to open Solid Edge plans (DFT extension) without Solid Edge?

A client sent us a plan in this format and we don't really know what to do with it!

Thank you!

 

FYI: I have SolidWorks, Edrawings, DraftSight.

Normally yes with the SolidEdge viewer: http://www.abisse.com/dl/telecharger-visionneuse-solid-edge

There is also an eDrawing module: http://www.edrawingsviewer.com/ed/edrawings-publisher-solid-edge.htm

A priori Edrawings for Solid Edge only allows you to create Edrawings files from Solid Edge, or view all Edrawings files, I'm looking for the 1st link, thank you I didn't come across it!

Would you like to re-register the files or just consult them?

From eDrawing, you can print in pdf via PDF Creator or other!

You also have it directly from Siemens.

You won't be able to edit this file if you don't have Solid Edge, only read it with the viewer and print it. The best solution is to ask your client to send it back to you in DXF (which is possible with Solid Edge).

We managed to convince the customer to send us a dxf...
