Are the latest versions of NX not able to import I-Deas .xpk packages any more ?

It's been a while since I needed to do it, last time was in NX10.
 
NX1980 was the last release to allow import of xpk files. Since then you have to export JT from I-Deas to be able to open in NX.
 
Yes, we still use CMM, in Teamcenter for older legacy parts. We are on Teamcenter 13.2 .

I just reviewed that Siemens has a CMM for NX2412.

Thanks

Not to hijack, but what file extensions did ideas use? I searched on .XPK and didn't find any.

We briefly had an Ideas user in the early 2000's when SDRC bought the old Camex Cammand software and we were upgraded to Ideas via Maintenance agreements at the time. Some of that tooling is still in use and record keeping from that era was lax. The Ideas user wasn't here very long and i'm sure most if not all the files were converted to CatiaV5 and once UGS took over Ideas, we let it expire.
