I have been given a bunch of SolidWorks 2012 SLDASM, including the SLDPRT making them up. Inventor Pro 2013 will open the SLPPRT with no problems. However the SLDASM files fail. Well sort of fails. Inventor creates a IAM file that is blank. I've attached a screenshot of log file. The files do infact exist.
Any ideas?
Are you doing this through the open screen and changing your file type to sldasm?

I have to tell you, and this is coming from experience, when ever I have had to do what you are looking to do I have never had good luck bringing in assemblies from one system into another. Whether it was SW to Pro-E, or SW into Inventor. I usually ended up being an incompatibility issue. Depending on what you are looking for the final outcome to be, you might just want to reassemble the parts that you seem to be successful in importing in Inventor. Or have the SW files exported out as stp or igs files.
Probably not what you wanted to hear.

Can you zip and attach the two *.sldprt files that you are getting errors on?
Attached is one of the small asm files with only 2 parts. And yes I know if would be very easy to just rebuild again. But I'm not rebuilding the 1000 part asm.
I've already requested a STEP file from the provider of the Solidworks files.
Would still ike to know the issue however.
Thanks!
The sldasm opened fine in 2014. It seems you're using 2013. Is it possible the sldprt's were created in an earlier version of SW than the sldasm. Just speculating here.
One of the parts was an imported solid in SolidWork, but it passed import diagnostics.
Not sure what the problem could be on your end (I don't have 2013).
Hi aparrow,
Thanks for reporting this issue in this forum !
I have done some validations and below is my observations for your reference.
I open your model in Inventor 2013 and do see nothing is imported, then I open its translation report and it says two parts could not be found during translation, so I suppose the relationship between the assembly and parts are corrupt. Thus I open your model in SolidWorks 2012 SP0, backup it again (using save all command), then open it again in Inventor 2013, it works then.
Please try the attached updated model to check if it work in your side.
Have a nice day !!!

Yes they opened - but then Inventor crashed as soon as the IAM was loaded on the screen.
So I would think it's a linking issue wuth the Solidworks files and not an Inventor issue.
Thanks to everyone for all the input!
Hi aparrow,
Appreciate your valuable feedback !!!
I open my updated SolidWorks assembly file several times in my Inventor 2013 RTM version and unfortunately I don't see the crash. I will keep it in my head once reproduce it, I will investigate it deeply.
I just backup the IAM files via my Inventor 2013 RTM for your reference if you want to use it.
Have a nice day !

Sorry, add the IAM attachment.
