Adding JT Facetted Bodies into a NX7 Partfile - Can it be done?
Adding JT Facetted Bodies into a NX7 Partfile - Can it be done?
(OP)
Question from a colleague:
"Okay, I have a JT File - it has a facetted solid body. I need to add it into the model space of an existing NX part, as background reference - WITHOUT using Add Component. Mind you, doing this in TeamCenter, and not standalone NX mode."

File -> Open...
...and set the 'Files of type' option to 'JT Files (*.jt)' and select the .jt file. If there is the proper data you will have what's actually an Assembly with a single Component in it, which will contain the solid body derived from the JT file.

Figure there is a white paper for that somewhere from Siemens...

When using File->Open in NX Integration, the filter for file types is grayed out. Should it be available?
The best option so far was to create an Item in Teamcenter, then create a dataset and import the JT into that dataset. Then, instead of adding that NX file as a component, I imported the file into my drawing file where I need the background.
I don't need associativity to that master geometry of the background and I need to see some detail. If it's an engine, I need to recognize different engine components. I do not need selectable edge/fact geometry, just the picture.
Thanks, hope all is well with you.
