Error Code 20006 Unable to read the ACIS file

Anonymous — Fri, 27 Oct 2017 19:52:35 GMT

Here is the message I am getting. Anyone know anything about this? I am assuming it just means the SAT file is corrupt.

Modeling Operation Error:
Error Code Number is 20006
Unable to read the ACIS file

Hi @Anonymous,

Yes, this is a rather ambiguous error message. Can you attach your model and tell me what operation caused this error to appear? I am happy to assist if possible.

John,

I was trying to import a ".SAT" file into a blank trying. I finally received a ".step" file and got it to work.

I am getting the same error message while trying to open acis file.

How did you solve it? It is not clear in your message.

Thank you

Hi,

>> How did you solve it?

Looks like he requested a STEP instead of an ACIS file from the creator of that part.

Thank you for reply.

So I still have the same problem with importing ACIS file in AUTOCAD. What
can I do?

Hi.

>> What can I do?

Lets start with informations ... which software was used to create the ACIS file, which version of AutoCAD do you have and which applications do you have (besides of AutoCAD) which might also be able to upload the ACIS file?

You might upload your file, maybe someone can open and convert it for you.

Beriefly, I created the file in solidworks2016. And I want to have convert
the file to 3D autocad file.

I know it can be imported from IGES and ACIS file to autocad. I cannot
export IGES file from Solidworks 2018, either. I have autocad 2018.
So I have two problems and I cannot solve both. 😕

Solidworks can save to .DWG, take that option.

When I save as DWG format, it is saved as 2D file. But I need it as 3D.

I'm not a SW user, but I'm quite sure it is able to not just export sheets, but the model too.

Please look to the options for saving dwg-files in Solidworks

If the ACIS / .sat file is version 7, the file will import, at least on my system it will. If you're using SolidWorks to create the .sat file, you need to select .sat as the file type as you would normally, then underneath there is an "Options" button. Hit that and the "System Options - ACIS" window opens up. Go to the "Version" drop-down and select 7.0. Hit "OK", then save as normal. The file should now import into ACAD though you may have to Zoom Extents to see the model. Hope that helps.
