Import CAD file (step format) retain point names from step file

[[Jo...]]

Hello, 

I have a CAD file with datum point in. These datum points are named in the CAD program and the name is in the retained in the exported STEP file. In the STEP file this is a Cartesian point. See line from the file.

I would like to import this point into Calypso and keep the point name in Calypso. It should become a space point. But when I do an import of the Step file in Calypso, the points are showing up as Point1, Point2, Point3, .... and so on. The original point name is not available in Calypso. 

What are the possible method to import these point with name in Calypso? 

• Implement in the step importer similar as in the Zeiss inspect;
• Create a import script for these points;
• Other CAD export format;
• Other method.

Sounds like PMI.

Your step file has to be a specific version for PMI and if it is that version, once the file is opened you get an extra Tab next to Features Tab for PMI.

STEP AP242 (ISO 10303-242)

Hi,

 said, this could only be done with PMI, we do not convert "Entity Names" in the CAD Conversion.

That would be a whole you requirement for CALYPSO.

Hello, 

And the PMI module is an additional license? 

And maybe I have to change also the workflow at our CAD side.
