NX5 to NX3

NX5 to NX3

(OP)
Is there any way to save an NX5 part so it can be used in NX3 ?

RE: NX5 to NX3

The NX5 system must export teh file in STEP, IGES or Parasolid format compatible with NX3.

Sorry friend but this question, and those similar have been posted several times before, and all our angst about it we know of no way to do it that will retain the parameters.

The best and easiest way to translate solids or sheets from UG to UG would have to be the parasolid route.

However if you need to retain some curves then you'll probably need to use IGES. STEP and IGES are both translators and can tend to degrade the data. IGES will render all of your solids into sheet bodies. So if you need both curves and bodies maybe use IGES for the curves and parasolid for the rest.

Hope this helps

RE: NX5 to NX3

A couple things to note:

There is an automatic sew option for importing IGES files into NX...this might help achieve a solid body upon IGES import into NX.

If going the Parasolid route, watch the Parasolid version you choose.  It must be NX3 or older.
