    Don't think so. The 2d stuff depends on export formats like IGES, STEP and DXF. SW
    and Pro/e can read and write to common export formats. Parts/assemblies are
    another matter. SW can supposedly read Pro/e files and Pro/e has a Catia
    translator built in. Since Dassault Systemes owns both Catia and SW, the
    translator might work on SW files. Don't know how well all of this works,
    limitations, what is preserved or lost.

    I'm pretty sure that if you go back to Pro/E 17? SW could open Pro/E
    files... PTC quickly nailed that door shut!

    What about the ATB? There's a way to work with some other CAD systems...
    Ask your sales guy.

    No, but you can export Pro/E-drawings to several formats:
    DXF, DWG, IGES, SET, CGM and STEP.
