There used to be a knowledge base article about it, but I can’t find it anymore. I would have thought it would be in this article, but it only has Autodesk and Creo:

https://support.zemax.com/hc/en-us/articles/11623397624467-How-to-show-exported-rays-in-the-CAD-platform

However, this was previously discussed in this community, such as in the following posts:

• Exporting to CAD not showing rays

There’s also a Youtube video from Opto-Mechademic that shows how to do it:

I hope this helps and take care,

You are correct.

I remember clearly there is a section on how to export rays to Solidworks in this KB article.

Remove this section may due to competitor relation between Ansys ,Dassault  even with Simens.

Hi Jsung

 if you use solidworks, try this

for your reference

or this may work… I accidently meet the AP242 issue

Yang,

Thanks for your screenshots of SW general settings. I have settings just like those shown above.

What I found is that unchecking the “parasolid library” did trick to show exported rays as mentioned in other KB thread David posted above.

However, if I try to export the ray footprint to 3D file I need to have that “parasolid library” checked. So it seems I can either export rays or footprint to 3D, but not both together.
