| 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
- Resolves the target part (active doc or argument path)
- Opens the part silently if not already open
- Exports to
.x_t using SaveAs3
- 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
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt/scripts/ExportPartToXt/ExportPartToXt.csproj
dotnet run --project ./sup_tools/swpilotcli-export-part-to-xt/scripts/ExportPartToXt/ExportPartToXt.csproj -- "C:\path\to\part.sldprt"
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
