UG No Drawing required
UG No Drawing required
(OP)
Any one know of a viewer that can view UG models complete with GD&T,dimensions,and Notes that are attached to the model? This is similar to the question I had earlier. UG cannot translate the data but if I can use the UG model and access the data with a cheaper viewer I would achieve the same result. All product definition in the model is the goal. No drawing required.
thanks
thanks

I've used it with the Pro/E plugin but never tried the UG version.

Is there a way to attach the GD&T and dimensional tolerances to sketch and feature dimensions other than thru the Smart Model menu? It seems that we did not purchase this module, so that option is unavailable to me.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have had success with AutoView from Cimmetry, it works very well and it loads models complete with annotation from UG and Pro/E. I've also been experimenting with Vis, it should be able to view everything, I think I just had my settings wrong for exporting PMI data. I've only been working with simple models and the GD&T has been added manually. As far as John Bakers answer isn't that the standard answer 'it's in the next release" ;). Any way I'm glad to hear they are working on it, I'll ask him about it at the next user conference.
As far as the project the part I'm trying to make is just a formed plate with slots and holes, it turns out that the supplier doesn't even look at the dimensions because their process is so accurate!! Even the GD&T is not required because they make it better than we're asking, I know that's not the point of GD&T but that's what they are doing.
So the bottom line is all I really need to give them is a solid model and tell them the material, they flatten the part send the data to the Laser burner, cut the plate and then bend it. If it wasn't for QA saying "how do we check it?" the project would be over. So now I can get the part made but I can't get it in the door because QA won't accept it. Any body else have any ideas on how to resolve the QA issues?
