Bernd Meißner Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hi all, I'm currently test driving the Pro/E importer. Although I know, that there are several file formats that could be used as an alternative, there are still some clients who don't want to deal with any export settings etc. from Pro/E. So I'll get Pro/E assemblies or nothing. Now I've got two assemblies which I'm trying to import. Result one: Fails to import. Result two: Ironcad (Inovate in my case) crashes and disappears without any message. Both assemblies open without any problems in PolyTrans, (also) using a licensed Granite translator. Huh? Thinking about buying the Granite add-on which costs 1.5 times as much as my Inovate license, annual support/upgrades twice as much as Inovate, there should be better results in order to convince me... Any (better) experiences? Regards, Bernd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbuche Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I have a guy at my work that uses it daily and says it works really well for him. It is really easy to use also. I am not sure if the problems are because you are using innovate instead of a full version or not the IC guys might have to chime in on that but for how we use it, it work well hope that helps B- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlehnhaeuser Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 We have a client using with IronCAD ( not Inovate) with no issues. Intially there were some issues however when we made parasolid the default kernel those issues went away, go figure. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, parasolid is the default kernel here, too. I'm currently trying to import all the subassemblies one by one... I'll let you know how things work. Edit: geometry successfully comes in for the few files I've tested so far, but coordinates/positioning gets lost, since I'm no longer using the parent assembly file. Not a solution Bernd Edited September 18, 2007 by Bernd Meißner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bernd Meißner Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Send me your files and I'll be happy to help your process. Well, that's a predicament, I've signed a *very* strict NDA. I'll let you know if I'm allowed to send the files, although I doubt it. Thanks for now Bernd Edited September 18, 2007 by Bernd Meißner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
