Catia Model Import 2

[TheePres]

Hello All.
I would like to ask if any of you may be able to help out with a newbie problem i am having.
I recieve CATIA MODEL (V4?) from customer that i import into UGNX4, I then export this as IGES to the NC department, they claim model is coming in at 1/25th (metric) scale.
I dont know if UG is importing or exporting incorrectly, or if original CATIA model was sent as scale.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

hmm, inches-to-mm issue?

Maybe try the external translator:

To Get there in WINDOWS:
START>PROGRAMS>UGNX>TRANSLATORS>CATIAV4>IMPORT

Then go to the EDIT pulldown and toggle between inches and millimeters to see if that fixes it.

When you import iges to UG check not only the sizes but go into File>Properties under the Displayed part TAB and check the units. What I expect may have occurred is that a CATIA design in inches was imported into a metric file and came in unit for unit and 1:25.4 scale.

In my experience scale errors are normally more likely to occur on the import phase than during the export of data.

Cheers

Hudson

What file did you import this into (metric or inch)? Try with the other type file you have.
