I have a solidworks test part which is just a cube with some points on it. I want to import it into rhino with the points. Is there any settings that would allow me to do that?
I know I can export the sketch as a dwg and import it into rhino but it would be nice to just drag and drop the solidworks file and keep the sketch.

I know I can export the sketch as a dwg and import it into rhino but this would be part of a bigger process and it would be nice to be able to just import the .sldprt file straight into rhino.
I’m using rhino 8 and solidworks 2024.

How many accounts are you using?
that’s an old account that I used by mistake
These are the import options but I don’t see any points being imported.
yes, that’s the issue
Importing the file with Grasshopper, I get this message in the command line:
yeah that’s probably the points. I thought “import construction geometry” was supposed to import all sketches.
Can you create a Solidworks file with a sketch that contains a 100 x 100 mm square?
Then extrude that to 10 mm thickness.
Agin the same message…
Part - sw_test2.SLDPRT
Some geometry was not read from the file
@tim or @Gijs could this be improved please?
It would be useful if the content of a sketch could be imported…
Hi -
I’ve put this on Tim’s list as RH-81999 File IO: Read points from construction geometry
-wim
Thanks @wim, points and lines and curves in general would make sense.
