    Step/stp => prt right click conversions

    I am aware of this, but learning this has other benefits for me as well, therefore, why not use this as an opportunity to learn how to do this? In the future, I may implement the batch file to not only convert the file, but to also convert from millimeters to inches in one go.

    Step/stp => prt right click conversions

    I currently have a batch file which is used for right click conversions of stp=>prt. It works only when the file is on my desktop, however the majority of the files are on a server location. Working on my desktop is not a viable option as many people share the same files. The code is as...

    convert to step error number 1

    The problem seems to occur no matter what system exported the stepfile, even when the stepfile was exported by nx itself. The only other export systems that I am aware of (there are hundreds if not thousands of files, can't check them all) are - pro-e - creo (i know creo has replaced pro-e, but...

    The version I am using is either 1872 or 1892 Yes, this is correct, I can convert using the standalone converters, but cannot convert using NX Directly. I apologize if my wording is not very good.

    convert to step error number 1

    I have step files that I cannot open through NX, but can convert through the step214 translator. I get Error Number - 1 when I try to Convert through Nx. The following is an error that I believe is causing NX to not be able to convert the file: I have no idea what is wrong, and this is...

    I have the skills needed to program, but before I waste a bunch of time doing so, I have to ask if I can use NXOpen without a developer's license? the version of NX i am currently using is 1872.

    Step 214 Conversion Set up

    Yes I am aware about not requiring an active NX Session. I have actually already figured it out, using the attached batch file. Then in the registry, set the (Default) of Computer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.stp\shell\Context Button\command to the file's location as such...

    Step 214 Conversion Set up

    I am looking to be able to right click on a step file and convert it to an nx .prt file, as well as right click on a .prt file and export it to a stp file. I do not know how to set this up. I have set up right click for unit conversions on .prt files. The version of NX being used is NX1872.
