Hello @bobw30183634,

 

I've personnaly never used SolidWorks, but it seems you can export your work as an .OBJ file and as Substance 3D Painter is perfectly able to read .OBJ , I'd advise you to do just that.

 

If you don't want to make your own UVs, I'd also advice you to use the auto-unwrap option when creating the project.

 

I'm maybe missing some points due to the specificities of SolidWorks.

 

Let me know.
