Downward Compatibility Function

[rossly]

All,
I am attempting to use this utility and the only thing that is converted is data in PartBody. Is there a way to get the entire part to be converted including GeoSets i.e. surfaces, curves, etc.

I don't know if this will help (and I currently don't have access to try it myself), but it might be worth trying....

Enable Hybrid Design, and then reorder the GeomSet to be under the PartBody. Now run the DownwardCompatibility utility.

You don't need to enable Hybrid Design to move a Geometric Set into a Part Body. You do, however, need the GSD License. I don't know, however, if it will bring the wireframe in either case.

Thanks Jim! Once again you've taught me something.

Ross - I just tried moving the GeomSet as I previously suggested, but it only had the copied solid with no surface or wireframe. (I'm currently using R12)
