converting Pro/E to MicroStation w/o Smart Solids

hello everybody,

I am looking for a method of translation Pro/E models to MicroStation
with specific restriction/requirement -> converted model should not use
objet type Smart Solids. This is due to the integration of this
translated MicroStation Models in to the Intergraph SmartPlant Review,
which does not support/display this kind of objects. Any ideas,
workarounds (e.g. replacing Smart Solids with other objects)?

thanks

Here's the problem, xajas. Smart Solids, Smart Objects, Smart Profiles, and Smart
Shapes are trade marks and property of Think3 Systems, not of Pro/ENGINEER and
PTC. The conversion that you speak of, and "restriction/requirements" have nothing
to do with this NG and the software this NG is set up to discuss, namely,
Pro/ENGINEER.

Google Think3, you may get some satisfaction.

I will try. thanks anyway,

Ooops, sorry, I was wrong. Pro/e does have some kind of Parasolid conversion. All
you emphasis on Smart Solids threw me off. But it is version dependent, wasn't
activated until Wildfire or possibly 2001. What version do you have?

Hello David

I hope this is not off-topic but is there a possibilty to import a parasolid
file (file extension x_t, originated from UG) directly into Pro/E 2001 or
wildfire?

Kind regards

Yes, I just did it in Wildfire to confirm my answer to the previous post. To
export to Parasolid (UG, SW), you must edit config.pro to contain the option
ENABLE_PARASOLID_EXPORT and set the value to yes. I'm not sure if this is
necessary for import via 'Insert>Shared data>From file'. Alternatively, you may
even be able to open it directly with 'File>Open'. In any case, Pro/e uses it as a
dumb solid, such as you get when importing iges or step data. I could build
features on it but was unable to modify through 'Edit>Definition'.

Hello David

Thank You for Your answer, it was really helpfull. After adding the line You
mentioned to config.pro I was able to open and parasolid assembly consisted
from approx 50 parts without any problems. I'll do some changes on parts and
send them to my partner, who is working with UG18. I'll see then if this
kind of communication will be succesfull.

Thanks a lot...
