Hi all,

Does anyone know of a good way to import step files in bulk, many at the same time? I have a folder with just a TON of step and stp files, and importing them into NX individually isn't very efficient.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thank you,

NX comes with a translator that will import an entire folder of files. Open the Windows start menu, scroll down to the Siemens NX program group and look for the appropriate translator.

This is great! Cowski you're a real lifesaver- many of your posts have helped me a lot with NX so I just want to say thanks for being such a great part of this community.

You may need to set your Java Home environment variable so you can run this program. UGII_JAVA_HOME.
