Step 214 Conversion Set up

[Cdickstein]

I am looking to be able to right click on a step file and convert it to an nx .prt file, as well as right click on a .prt file and export it to a stp file. I do not know how to set this up.

I have set up right click for unit conversions on .prt files.

The version of NX being used is NX1872.

If you tell us how you did that unit conversion we might be able to tell how to translate.

- You are aware of that there is a standalone translator that doesn't require a running NX session ?

Regards,
Tomas

Yes I am aware about not requiring an active NX Session.

I have actually already figured it out, using the attached batch file.
Then in the registry, set the (Default) of
Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.stp\shell\Context Button\command

to the file's location as such
"C:\FileDir\StpToPrt.Bat" "%1"

Where FileDir is the directory in which the batch file is located.

!!I can only Guarantee this works with nx11 to nx1892.!!
