Question

STEP import into a single part

Hi

I 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?

regards

Vito

    Vito,

    I want to make sure I understand what you are trying to do to see if I can provide some suggestions. Is this correct?

    • Export a Pro/ENGINEER assembly to STEP
      • Are you exporting to a monolithic file or multiple STEP files?
    • Import the STEP data back into Pro/ENGINEER as a single part
      • Are you saying that the components are repositioned to the default csys?
      • or
      • Are you saying that the components are positioned correctly but they are all refernecing the default csys?

    If you have a particular data set that you would like me to take a look at I am happy to do so.

    Regards,

    Rosemary

    I want to export to a monolithic file. All components are not positioned correctly, they are repositioned to the default csys.

    I'm using WF4 M150 and I have tried the M200.

    Vito,

    Are you required to use STEP? Iges and JT can both export to a single file and will maintain the component positions.
