I have recently purchasedAutocad Premium Design Suite and am surprised tofind that Solid Edge files like.par,.dft, .asm,.psm cannot be opened directly in Inventor Fusion. I was told by the reseller that "I have to convert the files into Parasolid or IGES or Sat formats and then the same canbe opened in Inventor Fusion." This is rediculous as the Inventor Fusion claims that " You can open files from any CAD system directly". This is clearly misguiding. Can anybody let me know the correct procedure for data transfer?
Pl respond ASAP.

It would depend on versions. You will have a difficult time opening SW2013 files with Fusion2013 as they are the same year and programmers don't have access to the new files to develop code for the conversion process. This would be the same for SW2013 opening IV2013 or IV2014 files. A 2014 version software will directly open most 2013 software.
For same year and newer version files the proper method we be to receive the files in a neutral file format as stated by the seller.
Fusion in no longer packaged and shipped with IV2014 and is now Autodesk Fusion 360: http://labs.blogs.com/its_alive_in_the_lab/2013/03/inventor-fusion-technology-preview-graduates-to-a...
Post the files here and the version of Inventor you wish to have the files converted to. I only have IV2014 installed on my systems and can only save to Inventor version 2014, which cannot be opened by earlier versions of Inventor unless they are converted to a neutral file format such as STEP or IGES.
Perhaps someone with a version of Inventor that matches the version you require will be find this post and the time to convert the files.
Plz anyone tell me how to open solid edge file in autocad Or how to open autocad file in solid edge
Thnaks all
I Have also one more question..Can i interfacing with solid edge through Csharp application.
Thanks.
Does Solid Edge have a users forum?
I see a lot of confusion in this thread about SolidWorks (SW2013), SolidEdge, AutoCAD, Inventor Fusion and Fusion 360.
I don't know anything about SolidEdge, but I know that each of those other CAD programs have user forums with experts in those particular softwares.
While Autodesk Inventor users might have experience with those softwares - it might be best to post these translation questions on the forums for those softwares.
You are correct. Your reseller was wrong.
