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 SLDDRT file?
The SLDDRT (SolidWorks Sheet File) file type is used as a document format native to the SolidWorks design suite software. It is a computer-aided design (CAD) file developed by Dassault Systèmes. A SLDDRT document contains two-dimensional “sheet metal” models, which are typically prepared for forming and manufacturing operations. [ ⏩ ] SLDDRT file extension
Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from SLDDRW to SLDDRT?
To successfully convert the SLDDRW file to SLDDRT, 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 SLDDRT (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 SLDDRT).
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 SLDDRT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting SLDDRW files to SLDDRT 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 SLDDRT, 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 SLDDRT file, or not.
