IGES import error "unset SDRC_OI_OFF"
IGES import error "unset SDRC_OI_OFF"
(OP)
Hi everybody!
I need to import an IGES file and when I try it, this message appears in the I-deas List window:
"OI Server is not enabled (to enable, unset SDRC_OI_OFF)"
I would be very pleased if someone can explain to me how to unset the server off. Perhaps is an installation problem but I'm not sure.
I've found this information in the Internet:
1.) exit I-DEAS
2.) type "export SDRC_OI_ON=1"
3.) restart I-DEAS
But I've got no idea where I must type the second order.
Thanks!

RE: IGES import error "unset SDRC_OI_OFF"
You are going to find it in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Services
The other way with Environmental variables does not work.
RE: IGES import error "unset SDRC_OI_OFF"
The most often reason for Orbix not running is incorrect OS for the version of I-DEAS you have installed.
ie. I-DEAS 10.x must be installed on WinXP Pro for Orbix to work. I-DEAS 9.x must be installed on W2K or NT 4.x for Orbix to work.
The first question is what version of I-DEAS and what OS are you using?
As a temporary work around, while your figuring out how to get Orbix going you may be able to use the Old IGES translator (which doesn't require Orbix). To do so type the folowing in the Prompt window:
/xto co bo fc im - For Import
/xto co bo fc ex - For Export
RE: IGES import error "unset SDRC_OI_OFF"
You need to remove current orbix by
orbixe2ainstall /r
and then reinstall using
orbixe2ainstall /i
This command can be found in the install directory of your I-DEAS installation.
Hope this helps
:)
