Hi,

Does anyone know how I can export a part file as a step and a parasolid from the command line. Basically I want to be able to convert all files in a given directory to step, parasolid and jt (I already have a batch file that does jt) automatically by running a bat file, but I have no idea how to get a parasolid and I don't know the proper commands to get the step exporter to work without going through the interface.

Thanks.
 
You can do what you want using the external translators that NX has.
To get there in Windows:
START > PROGRAMS > UGNX_ >TRANSLATORS > STEP203(or Whatever) > EXPORT
 
Thanks for the reply. I use that translator, but I wanted to convert to all three file types at once (I need to know how to run the step export utility at the command line, rather than through the GUI)
 
For parasolid, you can use the following command
ugii_base_dir\ugii\ug_inspect -extract_all mypart.prt

I hope this help

Regards

Didier
