Ray - email the file to me and I will have a look. How did you come out with the other project I helped you with?

prt file extension - solid works 1.jpg
Fusion 360 (full paid version) and SolidWorks will both open .prt files.

I have SolidWorks 2016 and it will open .prt file extensions. Email me your file and I will open it for you and convert to dxf format.

Ray - I tried to open your .prt files with SolidWorks, and it was a no-go. Message said file format not recognized.
Can you take a screen shot of what the files look like when you open them with your software? What is the software you are using?

Vicon is the software. It has a full library of HVAC fittings I can change to whatever size I need as well as a sketch program for making my own parts.
Its saves parts as PRT files. I have Lots of files I have designed over the years and thought some would be helpful here.
here is a photo of the file open.

I don't necessarily need this part converted this was for demonstration purposes of what these PRT file look like in the software.
I am working on how to convert these parts to dxf and gcodes. I can import dxf files and open them and when I save it saves as PRT.
Now if I imported the file DXF I can export it dxf.
