Error CAD converter failed

Hey there!

I am currently working with Thingworx Studio and I have come across the following problem:

I wanted to upload a .stp file (STEP) which should be supported by thingworx Studio. But when I want to add it, it fails.

I have already tried to add it with the Run CAD Optimizer Option ticked, but I got the sam error as well.

The size of the 3D shouldnt be the problem as I have already tested it with a smaller one and that failed as well.

Any suggestions?

P.s.: If you want to see the log files, you will have to tell me where to get them because I have no clue where to find them. Thank you so much

in advance

Is it a new installation or things used to work before?

Can you successfully upload a .pvz with "Run Optimizer" checkbox ticked, or seeing similar "CAD Optimization failed" error?

I have seen similar issue on a PC with missing / broken Visual C++ Redistributable. Just got it from the link below and installed - the issue was gone in 5 min. Download Visual C++ Redistributable für Visual Studio 2015 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Theresa Lichtenberger​,

The logs are accessible from the ThingWorx Studio application window. You will find 'View Logs' link on the bottom-right of the window.

Hi,

I tested also the issue with Thingworx - version:

Created a simple file form Creo Parametric model and exported it to step

And added to resources in Thingworx 'Studio. I selected the option optimize. So the results is that it created pvz models with high low and medium .

So I believe may be you need to check the step file if it is ok and could be retrieved in any other tools - for example in PTC Creo Prametric. I used for the test Creo Parametric 4.0 M010

hey Dmitry Tsarev​,

I am not sure why I would need to download Visual C++ Redistributable for this. Can you explain it in more Detail please? And I am using an Trial Version of Thingworx Studio for the first time

Hej Theresa,

we have seen that conversion issue coming from a disrupte VS C++ Installation e.g. due to Windows Updates.

If you install the version Dmitry mentioned it should solve the issue.

Have u seen my mail?

Hi Dmitry Tsarev​ , Martin Wassmann​ , Roland Raytchev​ , Ankit Gupta​ ,

I am afraid I am not able to share the stp file but I also tried it with an .igs file and had the same Problem.

But I can Show you my log file, maybe it can give you any clue what is going on:
