ACIS export issue between Creo 3 and 4

In Creo 3.0 I save a part as a ACIS (.sat) file , I get the EXPORT ACIS dialog box for options. (see sketch)  I select solid and save the file.  I am able to import and open the file in CST software. In Creo 4.0 M050 I save the same part as a ACIS (.sat) file but I don't get the EXPORT ACIS dialog box and it will not open in CST. I get an error message saying there are no solids. Any one have any ideas why the export would be different between Creo 3 and 4?

Export ACIS dialog box will appear on checking "Customize Export" when saving file to ACIS format. OR You may like Config option Intf3d_out_configure_export as Yes

Hi MaheshSh,

I tried these, but they don't give the option to check "solid or shell" option for export. I also verified that Creo 3 and 4 are both outputing version 5 ACIS.

Hi @bchapman

 

Can you share that part here? Or submit a case for TS with part file. As far as I Understand, those options should not make any difference in ACIS export.

What build of Creo Parametric 4.0 are you running?

In M060 PTC fixed an acis export bug. See articles CS289438 and CS289000:
