incorporating sheets from an IDEAS drwaing into NX 7.5 drawing

incorporating sheets from an IDEAS drwaing into NX 7.5 drawing

incorporating sheets from an IDEAS drwaing into NX 7.5 drawing

(OP)
I have a 6 page drawing I am making in NX and the last 2 pages are identical to the inforomation found on an old IDEAS drawing of the sprevios part exxept one base view. It's been 6 years since I have used IDEAS but we still have a license to use it.
How can I best copy those last two pages out of IDEAS and use them as the last two in my current NX drawing? I will need to update the part number fields and replace one view once it is added to my new drawing. Using NX 7.5.4.4.

RE: incorporating sheets from an IDEAS drwaing into NX 7.5 drawing

Try the following:

I-deas
1. Get the drawing from the Bin->switch to Master Drafting
2. File->Export->AS-Drawing (ASC file)
(This will export all sheets so you may need to copy the drawing and delete a couple of the sheets first. Or delete them in NX)

NX
3. Open the existing drawing
4. File->Import->I-deas ASC

The views on the sheets will not be associated to the model. (Any model associativity requires Content Migration Manager)

If it's simply notes in I-deas, you could use symbol files instead (.sym).

RE: incorporating sheets from an IDEAS drwaing into NX 7.5 drawing

Please note, this pulls an nx_drafting_plus increment from the licence.
If you do not have this, you could use dxf, dwg or cgm.
