I'm trying to set up a procedure for exporting a pcb assembly from ProE for importing into Mentor PADS. I can get everything to show in the .emn file including the .PLACEMENT info, but the problem is that when PADS tries to import it, the names don't match up and it doesn't import the part location info. PADS identifies a part using a "decal name" (like ABC123) and a "part name" (like XYZ098), so when it exports an .emn the result is:.PLACEMENTABC123 XYZ098 J1 (reference designator)x-pos y-pos z-pos rotation top/bottom place/unplace.END_PLACEMENTHowever when ProE exports the .emn the file is:.PLACEMENTXYZ098 XYZ098 NOREFDESx-pos y-pos z-pos rotation top/bottom place/unplace.END_PLACEMENTI've tried all sorts of things under the part's parameters to try and get ABC123 to show up in the .emn export but no luck.Does anyone know how to get this to work? Or where the .emn gets the placement info from?I manually updated the .emn file to put ABC123 into the correct spot but PADS rejected it as

After exporting a cgm several entities appear in grayscale rather then black when viewing in Corel X5 (customer's viewer). Random versions and profiles selected within the export preference of Abortext ISOdraw 7.1 had the similar results. However, a local install of Corel X5 did not replicate the same issue. Is there a version & profile match which forces all cgm viewers to display all black no grayscale? Or I,m open for other suggestions.

How to share data in Workspace with others without checkin into commonspace, thereby version increase not occurs i.e Iteration remains to be same?Rgds,-Uthayan.

Hi.I have read on several websites that the mathcad xml (used in the xmcd files) is a publicly available specification (done by ptc of course), but I cannot find the specification anywhere. Any help?I am making a parser for the xmcd files - of course I could reverse-engineer the format, but that will take a lot of time.

Greetings all,I would like to find a 3D export format that will maintain the light and scene information from Creo/Elements Pro when opened in a free viewer tool such as Creo View Express or Adobe Acrobat 9.I have tried .U3D files which apperently should contain the lighting and scene information but Ive been unable to find a free program to open the file.Does anyone have any ideas of a format that will do this and a free viewing tool to open the format?Any information will help. Thanks!

HiI want to convert a whole assembly into a single part with an export and import of a STEP file. While importing the STEP file it's possible to define "import as a part"... Unfortunately the parts are imported all to the standard coordsys and not to the originally exported coordsys.Is there an config option for that?regardsVito

Hey,I am considering a contract offering with Unigraphics native files and use ProE Creo elements. What are the possibilities of completing a full contract obligation in ProE Creo and transferring model information to the Unigraphics model type?

Hi,Having spent several hours finding a way to do this, I hope this saves others some trouble....1) used 3D Slicer www.slicer.org to segment the MRI volumes. (There are tutorials for this. You need to make a label volume then convert it into a model.)2) saved the models as .stl files.For reasons unknown Pro/E student edition would not recognize the .stl files that originated from 3D Slicer.3) Load the .stl files in MeshLab http://sourceforge.net/projects/meshlab/ 4) Save the model as a .dxf file5) In Pro/E use Insert>Shared Data>From File to import the mesh as a facet feature.Elsewhere I have seen people talking about shrinkwrapping the 'facet feature' to create a solid in Pro/E.I hope this helps,Nick
