3dxml Viewer
3dxml Viewer
(OP)
Hello,
Is there any 3dxml viewer, that allows users to make some measures to the 3dxml files? I tried the 3dxml viewer that dassault provides, but for measure it doesn't works...
I need to give the production guys an away for them to measure 3d parts. Any idea?
In our company we have also NX, and with teamcenter and jt files (directly exported from NX), them can measure the parts. But export from catia to NX, is really boring. Export from catia to stp, then import to NX, them export to JT. really painful...

RE: 3dxml Viewer
There's a viewer called Enovia that I'm sure will let you measure 3dxml files.
As for the cost ?

RE: 3dxml Viewer
In my professional opinion, you are creating a out-of-control process with out-of-control documents.
That is not advisable.
You should formalize the process of exporting from CATIA, then from NX (I am sure this is easy scriptable by yourself) and use controlled documents/objects from Teamcenter. What do you do if the production guy measures a wrong revision/version of your part? Who's going to be responsible?

If I remember good, the cost is around 1500 a year per user .
If you find something free, let me know :) I would be also interested.

Tiago need a player with measurement capabilities but I suppose he don't need precision, otherwise this can be a problem...3dxml file is not a precise solid file comparing with native CATIA files (remember that 3dxml player can also open cgr files... ring a bell?).
Buying a DMU license is more expensive than what you said, this is coming in addition to a basic CATIA license (like a MD2 for example). So the production guys will consume a CATIA license, that's why Tiago want a player, he don't want to increase the companies costs.
@Alan
Enovia is a PLM software by Dassault generally speaking, not a viewer. Yes, is having also a incorporated viewer were you can measure also (in VPM for V4/V5 or 3DEXPERIENCE) but again, just approximating....dimensions written on 2D drawings or on 3dxml files with FTA license are mandatory to follow for production guys....and yes, in 3DEXPERIENCE you can see a lot of file formats...
Even for approximate measurements I completely agree with what Calin said.
A solution can be 3DVIA Composer but this is coming with a cost...
Another solution was already mentioned here on the forum but I don't remember who was... see https://sourceforge.net/projects/glc-player/
I know for sure that in older versions of 3dxml files coming from CATIA (older versions) this software could do some measurements but you need to save 3dxml files from CATIA with specific options...and maybe is not working with newer CATIA releases...

RE: 3dxml Viewer
I agree, 3DXml it is not as precise as native data but enough for most needs :)
I don't think GLC player has measurement option, at least when I have checked. Also quite difficult to navigate inside.
3DVia composer ... I have no idea what this is :)Is it more expensive than ZAV?
RE: 3dxml Viewer
3DVIA Composer is cheaper then SW as far as I know and is used especially for technical manuals.

@Ferdo That's true. The idea wasn't to increment costs. Siemens has this solution, and it's quite good, but it doesn't read 3dxml files, or stp files.
