Translators Problem

[realmagicracer]

I'm trying to export solid body to .IGS with custom WCS. But obviously there is a problem with translators.
You can see pictures in the applied file.

Dimo,

If this is the only file that you want to export then just move it using transformations after you import it into NX. You could always try using STEP instead.

Hello Hudson.
Thanks for advice. But the problem is more complex. I have other software that can use STP and IGS files. I see that when I export to IGS - NX gives me to choose which CS should be the base to IGS model. But as you can see there is a bug when it exports to IGS.
Yes. There is a lame solution.
1) I should export original history based model to X_T or STP, 2) To import it to a new file.
3) To move the body.
4) To export it to IGS with absolute CS.

Yes I agree that solution is lame. You could write a macro or something to better automate the process if you wish but it is still pretty tedious.

It looked to me in the images very much like you were exporting iges from another CAD system and not NX, so I wasn't keen to comment on what was causing it. It appears that you have changed the colors of some of the windows just to try and fool us.

It is in the export that IGES gets things wrong I checked by opening with another system, (just a viewer). As long as you don't want to export an assembly try loading your part into and empty assembly perhaps with something to mate it to, then link the body/s and export the results by selecting the objects that you want to output. In may not be much better but it is probably a little less awkward than your other work around.

Pity is just doesn't work properly

Hello Hudson.
Maybe this is out of the subject, but you ment:

Actually I just have changed NX5 theme. Look at the applied file:

Thanks Dimo,

I knew what it was and how you would do so in theory. I just looked quickly at your images and not too carefully and didn't immediately recognize it which is why I had to explain that my earlier post was unhelpful .

Cheers
