dxfdwg problem
dxfdwg problem
(OP)
In UG NX 8.5.1.3 the translator (Start->All Programs->Siemens NX 8.5->Translators->dxfdwg)does not work.
A command prompt box flashes on the screen and nothing else.
I opened a command prompt window in the dxfdwg directory, ran the batch file with the proper arguments (double checked) and got a message that DXFDWG could not run because the UG directory could not be found. HMMMMM
So I changed the echo off to echo on in the batch file to see what was going on and ran it again.
It could not find UG because it truncated all the file paths at the first space. It was pointing to "c:\program"
Is there some way to add a code for the space character so it will not truncate?
I copied all the arguments from the icon that UG installed in the start menu.
Thank you.

RE: dxfdwg problem
"Java version is 1.8.0_25
This meets or exceeds the minimum required version of 1.7.0_03
\java\jre1.8.0_25 was unexpected at this time."
Any help is great.
Thanks

RE: dxfdwg problem
I just tested with NX8.5.3 and the translator works with that versions of Java (same as yours).
If your don't know how to set that variable:
Windows Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings (Upper left) -> Environment Variables
Create a new user variable, the name will be: UGII_JAVA_HOME
Set the value to where your 64bit Java is installed. C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_25 is the value on my system.

RE: dxfdwg problem
Variable is set correctly.
Could it have something to do with 32bit vs. 64bit?
I am on a 64bit machine, but the IT guy installed Java in c:\program files (x86)
Thinking this might be a 32bit Java.

RE: dxfdwg problem
32bit is only used for the web browsers for NX docs.

I was having trouble with my help files, so installed a new 32bit java and removed the 64bit.
THANK YOU
RE: dxfdwg problem
How do I set the variables so NX help uses 32bit and the translators use 64bit?
