One of the reasons I went to C6pro was to use our company cad assets.
But I can't seem to open a .sat file even though it's on the list.
Any ideas?

Hi kedo1981, Can you save off different (downgraded) versions of the .sat format with your software? It's worth a try. There is no "standard" format for .sat files and different programs write the code slightly differently. Versioning lower is usuall a safe bet. Sometimes I've run into problems in other file formats like .igs or .stl where the radii/rounded edges had values set too high and it killed the import. Resetting those specs on Save-as or export fixed the issue 9 out 10 times. For example, the default export was allowing for 128 lateral polys per radius/fillet - overkill. Anything higher than 8 was pretty much invisible. Of course, the more important the deadline, the more problems there will be... ;) Mark
