How to convert I-DEAS to Onshape?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

I-DEAS

I-DEAS was a CAD software package originally developed by SDRC in 1982. Unigraphics and I-DEAS were merged into "NX" (or Unigraphics NX). Siemens AG would eventually come to own "NX" by 2007 by which time it is now referred to as "Siemens PLM Software".

Okino's VRML importers were tweaked in their early days to specifically import VRML files from the I-DEAS software; this is the preferred method of data translation. Other supported formats are IGES, STL and VDA-FS.

Onshape

PTC's Onshape is a CAD software modelling package accessed via SASS. It allows teams to collaborate on a single shared design, the same way multiple writers can work together editing a shared document via cloud services. It is primarily focused on mechanical CAD (MCAD) and is used for product and machinery design across many industries, including consumer electronics, mechanical machinery, medical devices, 3D printing, machine parts, and industrial equipment.

Converting from OnShape to Okino software can be done with native SolidWorks files (preferred), STEP AP214 (preferred), IGES, Parasolid x_t, Rhino .3dm and COLLADA.

Converting from Okino software to OnShape can be done with JT, Rhino .3dm and Wavefront OBJ.
