CAD input only accepts ACIS files

[[Gr...]]

I'm trying to import a cad file to set up a program. However the only format it will accept is ACIS .SAT/.SAB.

However the Siemens NX CAD software we use on site is not licensed to export to ACIS.

I'm between a rock and a hard place because of this. Is there any easy work arounds to get Calypso to accept anything other than ACIS? I was lead to believe it would accept STEP files, but I guess the licensing type we have means it doesn't?


Thanks.

Your license is set to accept STEP (*.STP) OR IGES (*.IGS). If you wish to add a file format to load via CALYPSO then you will need to contact your Aftermarket Sales Representative.

The problem is that it doesn't accept STEP or IGES. If calypso accepted either of those formats it would be fine. I assume there is a third option of only accepting ACIS?

Either way it seems that we would need to change licenses in order to import in those formats?

When you select CAD > CAD Files > Load... , in the file load window, what file types show up in the drop-down? Are you able to select another file type? Only ACIS types will show by default, you must open the drop-down to select another type if you have somethign other than ACIS types to load.

If only ACIS is shown, go to Extra > Settings > Miscellaneous and make sure all your licenses are turned on. Feel free to post a screenshot if you want more in-depth assistance.
