If the following directories are missing, you haven't installed them:
%UGII_BASE_DIR"\IGES
%UGII_BASE_DIR"\STEP

"Translator image not found. The environment variable STEP203UG_DIR may not be set correctly"
And similar with IGES: "Translator image not found. The environment variable IGES_DIR may not be set correctly"
I can export to Parasolid without problem.
Any thoughts ?
RE: exporting .prt files to.stp and.igs
Now as for exporting a Parasolid model, that does NOT require a special translator (or license) nor does it require any environment variables, however, it does not export the same sort of data as does IGES or STEP. Using the Parasolid export function you can only export Solid and Sheet bodies. Everything else will be ignored. And the receiving software has to have the ability to read/open a Parasolid file.
