Import parasolid error

Import parasolid error

Import parasolid error

(OP)
I have a parasolid file from a supplier that will not import.

I get a couple differnt errors, depending how I attempt to open it:
"Invalid file contents" When I try to import it into an existing part
"An unrecognized interoperation request has been received" When I click on the icon (on my desktop) and open with NX.

The suffix on the file is "x_t"
I am on NX6
I do not know what CAD system the part was created in.

Does anybody have any suggestions on getting this parasolid to import?
 

RE: Import parasolid error

Could be a corrupted file, download it again or ask the supplier for a new copy. If it still doesn't work ask the supplier what program it is coming from and if there are any other options such as STEP or IGES.

RE: Import parasolid error

Instead of trying to open it in NX, try importing it into an NX file.

RE: Import parasolid error

yes, open a file in NX (old or new) and do File->Import ->parasolid

Also, VisMockup will open the x_t if you just want to look at it.

RE: Import parasolid error

Also what version of NX are you running? I haven't seen the specific error but older versions of NX are supported by earlier versions of Parasolid, so if the Parasolid was exported by a newer version of NX or some other system that you haven't any control over then it may have something to do with your problem.

Hudson, I am on NX6

That is a good point that you bring up. Typically If I need to send a prasolid file to someone - I usually pick an older parasolid version so that I am ssured that they can open it up.
