Pro to Unigraphics
(OP)
Hi Friends,
In Pro/E, is it possible to export a part in such a format (not a neutral format like IGES)that it is readable in Unigraphics.

Hidden config.pro option: enable_parasolid_export yes
You can also use STEP. I got better results with an assembly using STEP than the Parasolid export. The export didn't take the patternned hardware items. The drawback to STEP is that it builds components and for vendor parts we only want it as a single component.

RE: Pro to Unigraphics
I realize I am wandering off topic here a bit, but I have a suggestion for you regarding single part STEP files. I make a shrink-wrap of the STEP'ed assembly to make it a single part. I do not check in the individual STEP parts into commonspace, only the shrink-wrap single part.
Best regards,

We have proe 2001 and unigraphics. We have tried this option
in config but it would not accept it. I have gone in the PTC
knowledge base and it states that it is an untested option in Wildfire.

RE: Pro to Unigraphics
We've tried adding the config line "enable_parasolid_export yes" into the config file and then loaded the new config into 2001. When looking at the options there is a red circle with a slash through it. It appears that the option cannot be read. When doing a File Save a Copy there is not an option to do a parasolid. Am I missing something in your explanation. Could you clarify the technique and how exactly you are exporting the Parasolid.
Thanks,

It does work in Wildfire.
