What is SLDDRW file?
The SLDDRW file extension is used for SolidWorks drawing files, created by the CAD software developed and manufactured by Dassault Systèmes. The drawing files stores drawings, designs, layouts, structures, views, documentation, plots and other related information used to create 2D and 3D drawings. [ ⏩ ] SLDDRW file extension
What is IPT file?
The IPT file extension is a 3D part file created by Autodesk Inventor, a 3D mechanical design software used in the CAD industry. The IPT files store the parts of an assembly model, which can include mechanical components such as pipes, tubes, wires, and other forms of parts used for 3D modelling. An IPT file is comprised of a single component, which when included in an assembly will make up a multi-part model. [ ⏩ ] IPT file extension
How to convert the file from SLDDRW to IPT?
To successfully convert the SLDDRW file to IPT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.SLDDRW). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case IPT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than IPT).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. SLDDRW to IPT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SLDDRW files to IPT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension IPT, while before this step we had the SLDDRW file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new IPT file, or not.
