Hi all,
Scenario:
- TC2007.1.8
- Pro/E WF4 and V5R18 (for each WF/V5 dataset a JT is created in TC)
- NX7 (NX7.5 as soon as there will be TC8.1)

3D migration Pipeline will be JT (V9): very good and ready to use.

We've tons of 2D from WF/V5 to migrate to NX.
Result we want to achieve:
2D NX with:
- NO 2D VIEWS
- ALL ENTITIES ON 2D SHEET
- NO 3D LINKS

Better workflow we've found is:
1) Export each sheet from WF/V5 to DXF (result: 1 DXF for each sheet)
2) Import DXF in NX (imported, flat, in 3D)
3) Add View
4) Copy/Paste from View to sheet
5) Remove View
6) Remove any unnecessary 3D entities
in case of WF/V5 multisheet drawing GO TO 2)

is this the best workflow? Any hints/suggestions?
Someone have some NX/Open to automate some steps?

Thanks,
Beppe.-
