Explore how the BIMDeX AutoCAD Plant 3D to SolidWorks exporter converts the Plant 3D models into SolidWorks and witness the conversion workflow in which the Plant 3D model is converted to SolidWorks through BXF file format with all the integral data.
BXF file would carry all the design data information of the model.
RFA & RVT file Format
Export the Revit Model to BXF file using the BXF Exporter for Revit
SLDPRT & SLDASM file Formats
Import the BXF file in SolidWorks using the BIMDeX Importer to obtain native SolidWorks parts & assemblies
DWG file Format
Export the AutoCAD Plant 3D Model as a BXF file using BIMDeX AutoCAD Plant 3D Exporter
BXF file Format
BXF file will carry all the Design Data Information from the model
SLDPRT & SLDASM file Formats
Import the BXF file inside SolidWorks using BIMDeX SolidWorks Importer
BIMDeX, being one sound unit for effective interoperable model transfer, can level up your desire with model conversion as it offers a feature for you to envision the model conversion method. With this, you get to access and download the exported and imported models from respective applications and witness how BIMDeX has converted the model with all the desired customizations without losing the integral data.
Expose AutoCAD Plant3D platform into the 3D CAD Design environment with easy transfer of AutoCAD Plant3D models to SolidWorks through the customized and safe data exchange platform of BIMDeX.
Convert all your Plant 3D native elements like Pipes, Pipe Fittings, Speciality Equipments, Structural Elements, etc., to SolidWorks components
All the metadata information from the Plant 3D model will be transferred to SolidWorks.
BIMDeX also maintains Instantiation inside SolidWorks for ease of editability and better performance.
Native AutoCAD elements such as Blocks, PolyMesh, Solids, etc will also be exported to SolidWorks.
"BIMDeX will automatically categorize the components (Pipe, Pipe Inlet, Structures, etc.,) during export to ignore the components of specific category easily. Xrefs, Locked & Hidden Components can be excluded along with any orphan geometries in the model. Native AutoCAD elements can also be excluded based on Layer and Block Name."
BIMDeX makes it easy to group the Components based on Layer Name & Object Type from Plant3D Exporter and the Hierarchy Grouping can also be ignored before importing it in SolidWorks
You can export all Xrefs from Plant 3D and those will be created as Sub-Assembly in SolidWorks for ease of access
The Plant 3D model can be exported to SolidWorks based on WCS or selected UCS.

Looking for a solution to convert your models for a short-term or not having the required software to proceed with the conversion? Try BIMDeX CAD Translation Service for seamlessly getting your models converted as a service.
Our company is dedicated to delivering exceptional support to ensure our customers have a fantastic experience with our product.
Is BIMDeX a standalone software?
It is an Addon/Plugin installed in AutoCAD Plant 3D and SolidWorks application for seamless model transfer.
Is it mandatory to have both AutoCAD Plant 3D and SolidWorks application installed to do the model conversion?
Yes, it is essential to have the software installed as BIMDeX needs Design data information from AutoCAD Plant 3D to translate it to SolidWorks.
BIMDeX also provides a conversion service for the users who does not have AutoCAD Plant 3D/SolidWorks Application.
How does BIMDeX work? Does this use any file formats for conversion?
BIMDeX translates the design from AutoCAD Plant 3D to SolidWorks by generating its own proprietary file format called BXF. This BXF file format carries all the intelligent model geometry and metadata.
Does BIMDeX support bi-directional conversions?
Yes, BIMDeX has bi-directional conversion solutions through different set of plugins for both Plant 3D to SolidWorks and SolidWorks to AutoCAD Plant 3D Exports.
