Parasolid to Iges
Parasolid to Iges
(OP)
I need to convert a parasolid to an Iges. Its an 89meg file converted to parasolid from pro/e. I seem to lock up SE. it seem so be working but then doesn't respond, I waited at that point for 20min. It locked up when opening the parasolid, didn't even make it to try and convert it.
I did this by opening a new part and then Insert>Part copy. Is there any other way that may be successful?
I have a feeling it's because of the size of the file or its corrupt. A buddy of mine tried to open the parasolid in Wildfire, but he locked up also
Any ideas? Thanks!!!

RE: Parasolid to Iges
If so, it's probably failing because you are trying to create a single massive part file from loads of bits.
Try using the plain 'Open' command and setting the file type filter to parasolid. There are various options you can set for the conversion.
I would suggest setting the output folder to a new empty folder so as to keep the new files separate to any live stuff.
It will then ask for a template to use. I would suggest using assembly then you will get loads of part files instead of one big one.
Good Luck.

'many part copy features': are they visible? If not select one
and do an RMB --> show surfaces (hope that's the way in V17
I'm on V18)
converted to asm: no parts at all or just the same: Edgebar
has some but none is visible?
It may be that the Parasolid contains only surfaces and you
should check the import options on Heal and Stitch, Boolean Solids (!)

Didn't find a "show surfaces" command in V17

In your assembly pathfinder select the parts then RMB and Show/Hide Component > Surfaces
