DXF files within TCEng?
DXF files within TCEng?
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm using NX4 with Teamcenter Engineering V9.1.3.3 and store all our CAD parts/specifications within it. When we create flat patterns we also store the FP manifestation within teamcenter but not the DXF file which we create and send to the lasering company.
I would have though this should be simple but I can't figure out how to do it. Under the revision I can create a new dataset and add jpegs,pdfs,avi,word and excel documents but no option to choose DXF.
Am I missing something? Any help much appreciated.

Not sure if this allows you to open it from there though?

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I don't have an option to choose graphics :(

What your actually looking for is a data set called translations. Have a look at the attached image. It allows you to store numerous types of exported CAD data. hope this helps

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

Thank you so much for the assistance. I'm able to select UGMASTER and import DXF. The option to choose translation isn't available using file-new-dataset :(
Strange?

I've created the dataset type myself and can now import iges etc, hooray :)
BUT, more often than not translation files like DXF's/IGES etc are requested after a component has been released. Obviously this causes a problem as I can't add a new dataset to a revision after it has been released.
Am I missing something? :(
