Prerequisites
- UG files must have a .prt extension.
- A product structure document (either new or previously created) must be visible to import data interactively.
General Notes
- Only solid bodies in a part file are converted.
- Face colors are not supported. Only body colors are imported.
- Support for filtering of blanked objects is not available, therefore all blanked objects will be converted.
- An alternative method to performing steps 2 and 3 is to select the product with the left mouse button, then, from the menu bar, select Insert -> Existing Component.
- When assembly files are converted interactively, the conversion requires only one step; the conversion of an intermediary layout file is not required as it is with command line conversions.
-
Open an empty or existing product structure document.
-
On the product structure document, use the right mouse button to select the product under which the UG part or assembly is to be imported. A menu appears.
-
Select Existing Component. A dialog box appears, such as the one shown below.
-
Set the file type to .prt and navigate to the directory where the desired UG part or assembly files are present.
-
Select the part or assembly file to be imported. Click the Open button. The selected part or assembly appears under the selected product in the product structure.
In the example below: - tthe product selected in step 2 was axel.2 (highlighted in orange);
- the part selected in step 5 was wheel.prt.
In the example below: - Product 1 was the product selected in step 2;
- auto.prt was the assembly selected in step 5.
