NX Import
NX Import
(OP)
Hi
I have been trying to import a .dxf file. The initial import is fine and I then save it as a .prt. However when I add this to my assembly which is dimensioned in mm, the part is tiny compared to everything else. When importing the .dxf I have changed the default system from mm to m to inches but still, the part is tiny in my assembly.
Also, when it imports, you can't select and faces/edges or anything? Is there a way around this?
Thanks

RE: NX Import
It is small because itis 1/25.4 of the size you expect it to be.
Changing the units in the part does not change the base units of an NX file, only changes how you input values.

RE: NX Import
I would assume that the .dxf would be in inches, in which case do I need to convert it to mm using ug_convert_part.exe?
Thanks
