User manual infra CONVERT > Export drawing from the CAD system > Siemens PLM

NX 6


This manual describes how to export drawing files in DWG, DXF and IGES formats (→Drawing data format) from the NX 6 CAD system. The recommended settings ensure that the drawing file can be read by infra CONVERT in the best possible way.

The following NX licenses are required:

  • Dxfdwg
  • ug_to_dxf
  • 3d_to_2d_flattener

Due to some errors with the DXF/DWG export (as of March 2010), we recommend using the IGES format. Some dimensions are seemingly not output as a block in the DXF/DWG format, but rather as individual elements and texts. Therefore the information in infra - CONVERT may not be automatically transferred. This applies especially to radii and angular dimensions.
