ai file to NX
ai file to NX
(OP)
Is there a way to get at least CGM files out of Illustrator (CS 11) to import into NX4?
DXF works... sort of. Much rather have something that didn't require re-creation (extruding solids)
I heard that Ideas was able to get a reasonable representation of an ai file that looked grand.
Thanks...

RE: ai file to NX
I have read about using .dxf for 3D math, but have never personally seen it done. But I'm 99% sure it's not going to matter what you do, you're going to end up with 2D vector data upon import.

RE: ai file to NX
ai doesn't have that exort listed, and DXF leaves lines out.
I am told that SDRC Ideas had the capability of importing (??) to visually display (non-surface) a representation of the artwork on the solid model.
I had a ID guy get iges data out of ai, but who knows what he had to go through... His secret.
Thanks anyway...
