Not possible. Only file that will have history is a native VX file.

Hi Dorin

It is possible (though difficult) for such a neutral format to be created, but the high-end CAD Systems would suffer greatly if customer files could be migrated in such a way to MCAD applications like VX - so, for commercial reasons, a common standard is probably not going to happen in the near future. The next possibility would be targeting specific rival software. For example, if we could, it would be in VX's interest to be able to translate a SolidWorks file with a complete history. However, their file format, like ours, is a commercial secret. So, no-go.

Hi Dorin,

Please contact Mike Lynch directly for these types of questions (alternatively ask Dan via Skype).

thanks,
