Question about Importing SolidWorks Assembly File to Fusion 360

I currently have a SolidWorks assembly file which has built-in mates. 

I know in Fusion 360, we can use joint as mate in SolidWorks.

Is there a way to transfer the mates I did in SolidWorks into Fusion 360, so I don't need to redo everything in Fusion 360?

 

Thanks

Sadly they operate in a completely different way so there is no way to translate between the two.

 

About the best you can do would be to make rigid groups of all groups of parts that don't move relative to each other, and then apply joints to further constrain and allow movement of the groups where needed.  This way you can at least take advantage of the existing locations of the imported parts, and not have to create a joint for every single part (similar to what you would do in Solidworks).
