    I am gettinh an automotive aasembly from UG nx3, i see that sw can
    import UG parts will it bring in UG assemblies? or just part.

    ug can export out to step is this the best format and i am sure there
    are settings inside UG that can improve the export, any information of
    UG assemblies or the export setting would be greatly appreciated.


    Thanks

    Ryan

    The best way from UG to SW is parasolid. I've imported UG to SW, but
    got better results importing the same model via parasolid.

    did you have to play with his output settings? do you recall
    was it step 214?

    there are some tolerance setting that they can do on ther end.

    thanks in advance

  4. You might need to worry about which version of Parasolid is saved. UG might
    be ahead of SW, so that you would need to have the parts and assemblies
    saved in an older version.

    I said PARASOLID, not STEP.

    Jerry S. has a valid point. Actually, UG has been lagging behind SW
    in parasolid versions, so going from UG to SW is not a problem. Going
    back to UG, you may need to "dial back" to an earlier parasolid
    version. Parasolid v10 has always has plenty of horsepower to deliver
    even complect surface geometry.

    I sort of doubt this as ParaSolid comes from UG.
    But someone might not be going to the latest releases ASAP.

    Actually, UG has been lagging behind SW in parasolid versions,
    Maybe they use licensees for extended beta. <G>

    The last UG Parasolid exports I've gotten were late in 2005.
    NX3, I think.
    SCH_1600178_16004 (Parasolid version 16)
