Import 3D from dwg file in NX8.5
Import 3D from dwg file in NX8.5
(OP)
Hi,
When I try to import the following file in NX8.5

I have got only 2 notes
Is it possible to obtain the 3D or is it a limitation in our dwg translator ?
I know that the 3D is inside because I was able to open the file in autocad then export an iges ==> and import in NX

Thanks in advance

Independent of your situation above, DXF is always last on my list of neutral files that I'd want to have sent to me - DXF is or at least was limited with the spline complexity it could support. Something to the effect that anything higher than 3 degree wasn't supported.

Thanks for your answer. I agree with you.
But my customer have not access to AUTOCAD and have a sample AUTOCAD assembly to import in NX. He has no way to obtain STEP, IGES or PARASOLID files, only dwg

In fact another customer (with NX and AUTOCAD) have helped me for the test

Glad to hear you have a workaround - was being facetious in my last response.

And the problem is that the Autocad step translator is an addon to autocad, and this company has not bought it, so they expect you to take care of their translation problem.
I'm getting tired of this.
