problems with IGES import (NX5)

[speedster29]

I am having trouble importing an IGES part file from a connector vendor. The part will not import cleanly into NX5. NX I-DEAS 5 has no trouble with it, however. My workaround is to import it into I-DEAS, then create an xpk file that NX5 can open. Obviously, this is not convenient. This has happened to me several times. Why does NX5 have trouble with IGES?

I would contact GTAC and have them get someone in the Translator group to look at the problem.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

I contacted GTAC. It's a bug, and won't be fixed until version 5.0.5.3.

I just installed NX 5.0.5.3 so it's real. The schedule shows NX 5.0.5.3 being available for download by customer by the end of July, so it's not too far off.

I reported this issue to GTAC a couple of months ago and they created the PR. For some reason, I can't find my original thread in this forum. Anyway, if you have NX 3 available, try importing the IGES file into that version. It worked for my situation.
