Creo 8.0.6.0 doesn't open NX2007 files

[Dobi]

I'm not sure if I'm reading this CS134024 table correctly. 

We have Creo 8.0.6.0 and NX2007 (2027 minor version). Upgraded from Creo4 and NX1926. 

Creo8 can open (as in File/Open, change file type to NX *.prt and select "Open") an NX1926 saved file. It cannot do the same all NX2007. 

Does the "Open" without Unite read off of the import column compatibility? 

We don't have Unite but do work with both NX and Creo. Since our PLM is Windchill, Creo has to be the top-level assembly CAD for the multi-CAD projects that sometimes have to consume NX files. We definitely don't want to import and create a Creo .prt from the same existing NX .prt.

Hi,

https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS134024 document contains following information:

NX 1847 (8.0.0.0)
NX 1953 (8.0.1.0)
NX 1980 (8.0.4.0)
NX 2206 (8.0.9.0)

Note 1: I guess 8.0.6.0 has the same functionality as 8.0.4.0, this means it "understands" NX 1980.

Note 2: Release date of 8.0.9.0 is unknown. I guess that it will be available on June/July 2023.

Please ask PTC Support, if you need more details.

@MartinHanak you're looking at the import column for that. Does that imply that "Open" and "Import" compatibility are one and the same?

Yes they are. You will need to upgrade to 8.0.9.0 in order to import or open a NX 2007-2027 file.
