Importing DXF/DWF into UGNX2?
Importing DXF/DWF into UGNX2?
(OP)
Sorry for the newbie question, but I cannot seem to be able to IMPORT a DXF or DWG file into UG.
I select IMPORT/DXF-DWG and when I try to import it into existing Work Part, it tells me Drawings cannot be imported into work part... blah, blah.
Then I try IMPORTing into New Part. I name the part, enter, OK and I get the note that it was submitted, but then nada. No sign of any translation or anything.
I can EXPORT to DXF or DWG, but cannot IMPORT.
What is a newbie doing wrong? Thanks!

"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.

Spaces in the path of the source/target path.
If directories or the filename of the dxf contain a space this used to cause the dxf not to translate.
Have you had a look at the log file the translation produced.
Normally sits in your home directory with an extension of .log. You can view it in any text editor including word.
Hope that's helpful,
Cheers

Tested my translator...Was able to output a DWG file from an existing UG part file and them import it back in, so my Translator seems to be working.
But I still could not import the DWG file in question.
I tried to just "OPEN" the DWG file in NX3 also. No Luck.
I get errors in the LOG file:
ODT Error: Error number out of range
UGDWG Error: ; Error opening specified input file
Is it true "LOOSLIB" ?? That 2003 or newer versions of ACAD are not supported in NX2 and NX3 ?
Any Help would be appreciated.....Thanks.
