I have been tasked with completing a customer questionaire regarding our CAD capabilities. All of it is straightforward except for determining what version level our IGES and STEP capabilities are. How do I determine what versions NX6 defaults to?
TIA!

I would suggest you do a translation then look at the log file. For an IGES translation that was done a few days ago, one of the first lines in the log file reads "NX V6.0 / IGES Specification 5.3".

I'm not sure if this is the IGES version for NX or if this is the version that the other software wrote out, but it may be a starting point.
 
To see which standard NX supports, just perform an Export (rather than an Import) and then check the log files.

Thanks, guys!

The IGES 5.3 spec has been out there for a while.
Yes, the log files do list the spec that the translators comply with.

Ah, but the solution was to check the log after exporting.
