name	swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt
description	Export a single SolidWorks part (.sldprt) to Parasolid (.x_t) format. Uses the active document if no path is given. Accepts optional part path and output directory arguments. Use for single-part export or as the per-item step in LLM-orchestrated batch workflows.

SolidWorks Export Part to XT

Export a single SolidWorks part to Parasolid .x_t format.

Prerequisites

• SolidWorks 2024+ with SwpilotCLI add-in installed
• .NET 8+ Runtime on the system
• A .sldprt file — either open as active document, or specified by path

What this Skill does

1. Resolves the target part (active doc or argument path)
2. Opens the part silently if not already open
3. Exports to .x_t using SaveAs3
4. Closes the part if it was not already open

When to use

• Single-part export: convert the currently open part
• LLM batch workflow: called once per part after ListAssemblyParts
• For full assembly batch in one shot, use swpilotcli-export-assembly-parts-to-xt

Quick start

# Export active part (to same directory)
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt/scripts/ExportPartToXt/ExportPartToXt.csproj

# Export specified part
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt/scripts/ExportPartToXt/ExportPartToXt.csproj -- "C:\path\to\part.sldprt"

# Export to specified output directory
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt/scripts/ExportPartToXt/ExportPartToXt.csproj -- "C:\path\to\part.sldprt" "C:\output\dir"

Expected output:

Part:   C:\Projects\Part001.sldprt
Output: C:\Projects\Part001.x_t
OK -> C:\Projects\Part001.x_t

Examples

Export current part

User: 把這個零件轉成 XT
Claude: I'll export the active part using this tool.

Per-item step in batch workflow

# After ListAssemblyParts returns a JSON array:
dotnet run ... -- "C:\Parts\PartA.sldprt"
dotnet run ... -- "C:\Parts\PartB.sldprt"

Reference

See API_REFERENCE.md for arguments, output, and return codes.

Notes

• Output filename matches the source filename (.sldprt → .x_t)
• Parts already open in SolidWorks are not closed after export
• Output directory is created automatically if it does not exist
