  Maybe. There is a procedure that you can try, but it does not have a high success rate and often you will only recover pieces of an assembly. The procedure is: 1. In Windows, rename the design file to a .zip file to allow you to open it as a normal zip file. For example, rename Design1.scdoc to Design1.zip. 2. Within the zip file, navigate to SpaceClaim > Geometry and extract the allpartbodies.sab file. It is a standard ACIS file. You can usually copy and paste it to the main folder. 3. Import allpartbodies.sab into SpaceClaim using the ACIS file type.
