Interoperability between Rhino and SolidWorks

SolidWorks supports opening Rhino files directly into SolidWorks. We are enabling collaboration between design disciplines by breaking down traditional barriers caused by having to translate data between different CAD tools. This means greater productivity and better communication between multi-disciplinaryteams and a more integrated concurrent engineering process. You can share designs easily over the Internet using the free SolidWorks Viewer, available for Windows®. Provide your customers with a preview of designs in process. Ensure that you are on the right track before you produce costly prototypes. With the SolidWorks Viewer you can send designs for client review by email, or place designs on the web for your client to open and review.
