DXF translator need setup file.

[fjonsson]

Runs NX4 and try to create a .dxf-file of a .prt.
When I select export dxf/dwg I get "translator image not found. The invironment variable dxfdwg_dir may not be sset correctly". What to do?

Go to the UGII folder and open the 'ugii_env.dat' file and make sure that the...

# Directory containing the DXFDWG executables.
DXFDWG_DIR=${UGII_BASE_DIR}\dxfdwg\
#

...are set properly.

Of course you will had to have installed the DXFDWG translator for there to be anything there to even point to, and for UGS NX 4 that software came on the translartor CD-ROM and had to be installed separately (for UGS NX 5, it all comes on one DVD-ROM and you can install all of NX in one operation).
