CAD Data Transfer Info
A. Type of Files
  • In general, ZIP these files for transfer.
  • Graphicast uses Pro/Engineer and SolidWorks
  • RFQs: We prefer a 2-D drawing with tolerances (can be an electronic file or a hard copy). A 3-D model is always helpful and complements quoting to a 2-D toleranced drawing.


  • 2-D Drawings

    1. Pro/E (.drw with .frm and .prt or .asm)
    2. SolidWorks (.slddrw)
    3. AutoCAD (.dwg) or DXF (.dxf)
    4. Adobe Acrobat (.pdf)


    3-D

    1. (Solid) Pro/Engineer "Part" (.prt) suppress most features to reduce file size (we will "resume").
    2. SolidWorks model (.sldprt)
    3. STEP (Solid, from non Pro/E system) (.stp)
    4. IGES surface model (omit wireframe) (.igs)


B. Transfer Methods
    These methods are available for transfer of computer files electronically to Graphicast. In every case, we need a clear understanding of why you are sending the file, and what you want Graphicast to do. Suppress, ZIP, etc. per above suggestions.

    1. E-mail, as an attachment to a message
         a. Send to: sales@graphicast.com
         b. Note: Limit on size of file- 10 Mb maximum

    2. Graphicast can retrieve from your FTP (Web) site.
         a. We need password, directory, filename, etc.
         b. You need to let us know when the file will be available.
