Setup the source and target file types of the conversion rule on the Select Type step of the Print & Convert Profile Wizard. With the source file type selection, you can limit documents to process with the file conversion rule by the file type. You can scope a file conversion rule either to SOLIDWORKS Parts (*.prt, *.sldprt), Assemblies (*.asm, *.sldasm) or Drawings (*.drw, *.slddrw).
| PARTS | Select the PARTS option to process SOLIDWORKS part documents with your new file conversion rule. The PARTS option can be selected also along with the ASSEMBLIES option. |
| ASSEMBLIES | Select the ASSEMBLIES option to process SOLIDWORKS assembly documents with your new file conversion rule. The ASSEMBLIES option can be selected also along with the PARTS option. |
| DRAWINGS | Select the DRAWINGS option to process SOLIDWORKS drawing documents with your new file conversion rule. The DRAWINGS option cannot be selected along with the PARTS or ASSEMBLIES options. |
