UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

(OP)
Has anyone been able to export a UG NX4 file to a Parasolid 17 format? I can export UG NX4 to PS 16 and all previous formats but can not do so nor do I see an option for exporting the file to parasolid 17.  Any ideas?

Thanks and Best Regards,
Mike

RE: UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

Is NX4 built using Parasolids 16 or 17?
I would expect that it cannot export to a newer version.
A newer version (or system built with a newer version)should be able to read the older version export file.

RE: UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

(OP)
I will have to look into this, I believe that UG NX3 was built with Parasolid 16 and assumed that NX4 was with Parasolid 17 but I could easily be mistaken.  If anyone is able to confirm this either way it would also be of great help and would save me time from searching for a solution to a problem that does not even exist.

RE: UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

If you have NX4 installed, you can check the Parasolid version by clicking Help -> About then I believe it's a button called System Information on the About dialog that you want to click in order to get your own system info about NX, etc.

RE: UG NX4 export to Parasolid 17

According to John Baker, NX4 is supposed to export Parasolid v17.0. I pointed out to him that the capability in NX4.0.0.25 is not there currently. His response, and I quote:

"AARGH!

I will open a PR."

I hope that this at least helps in the fact that you can stop looking for it, for now.
