NX to IGES Batch File help !

NX to IGES Batch File help !

NX to IGES Batch File help !

(OP)
I'm working on a batch file which converts NX .prt to a .igs file.

Within the .def file, there are several selection criteria quoted. eg:

UGI_VIEW_MASK = TOP,FRONT,RIGHT,BACK,BOTTOM,LEFT,TFR-ISO,TFR-TRI,User Defined
UGI_USER_DEFINED_VIEWS =
UGI_DRAWING_NAMES =
UGI_CURVE_MASK = Points,Lines,Arcs,Conics,Rational B-Spline Curves,Solid Edges on Drawings
UGI_SURF_MASK =
UGI_ANNOT_MASK =
UGI_STRUCT_MASK =
UGI_SOLID_MASK =
VIEWS_VISIBLE_MAP = Views Visible (402/3),Views Visible Color and Line Weight (402/4)
UGI_LAYERE_MASK =
UGI_LAYERD_MASK =
UGI_LAYER_MASK = 11,12,10

I would like the program to only select the curves in font SOLID... can anyone tell me how to specify that

Please !

Have you looked at the external translator in NX?
In WINDOWS:
Start -> all programs -> ugs NX_ -> translators -> iges -> export . . .

I am pretty sure that there are options in there (edit > settings pull down menu) to do what you want, and to can batch it.

Thanks Jerry,

Yes, I know about the exporter in NX, but the batch file is something different I'm working on. I want to run the exporter without opening NX.

I know this is possible, I just don't know the attribute name required.

Cheers

RE: NX to IGES Batch File help !

I have no idea if this will help you or not but I found some variables relating to Fonts that may help you (or may not)

LINE_FONT_MAP = IGES Line Font Number
COLOR_FONT_MAP = IGES Color Number

CHARACTERFONT_MAPPING_FILENAME=
LINEFONT_MAPPING_FILENAME=
