Help importing solidworks files

I found a design for a desktop CNC router on Grabcad.  There are a bunch of solidworks files zipped up here:

https://grabcad.com/library/sable-2015/files

 

There is one .SLDASM file and 45 .SLDPRT files.  Is there a way to bring this into Fusion 360 as an assembled design?

Hi Scott, you could try this to convert to something like STEP:

If that does not work I could convert it for you.

It's easy as hell, just unpack zip file, and upload all of the files you'll find there, they will come as a single file that is "assembled",by that I mean parts will be placed as in solidworks assembly, but you need to reapply mates(joints). And, yes I've downloaded this exact file and uploded to my Fusion.

Uploading all the solidworks files together worked great.  Thanks.

One tip, when uploading many solidoworks files where there are more than one sldasm file, you need to pick the top level so the design imports as you intended.

The upload dialog in Fusion will show you the sldasm files (if more than one) and you can choose the top.

Assemble file contain data only about relation between parts, so to see anything you need also part files (.sldprt).
