NX7.5 to Catia V5 2

[WillBailey]

I'm trying to export a 2D NX7.5 file as a .DWG:

When the conversion is done, and I open the file in Catia, the view is rotated so all I see are points where the lines end. What can be done to rotate the view in NX7.5 so I can view it in Catia? I have created new views, and camera settings but can't seem to open it up in Catia V5, any advice will be helpful.

Are you exporting geometry from the modeling or drafting application (or other)?

If/when I have issues with the dxf/dwg settings, my fallback method is as follows:
[ol 1]
[li]Export a .cgm file of the drawing[/li]
[li]Start a new file, import the cgm[/li]
[li]Replace the modeling view to TOP canned view[/li]
[li]From this file (modeling application, top view) export the dxf/dwg[/li]
[/ol]

This works most of the time. Depending on the importing application, you may have to try other views (right, left, etc) to get what you want.

I hope you get paid the big bucks, cause you are full of helpful hints. Thanks a bunch!

We have found that file-export-DXF/DWG gives different results that file-export-2D exchange.
In our experience the 2D exchange gives us better results.

Cowski,
How about if I want to export both geometry from the modeling and drafting?
Thanks

I don't recall having a need to export from both drafting and modeling simultaneously, so I can't give any tried and true advice on the subject. My initial thought was to use 2D exchange, but on further investigation it appears that exporting from modeling or drafting is an exclusive choice. A straight dxf/dwg export looks like it will allow exporting both modeling and drafting, so I'd try that first. Perhaps someone with recent experience in this matter will be able to give some useful specifics.

Thanks you, cowski!

Although starting NX8.5 a new dedicated utility is introduced for dxf/dwg export AUTOCAD DXF/DWG export (which i feel is more robust)....
but since you have the issue raised for NX7.5 so this might be something worth trying:-
(a) Step 1: flatten the drafting : Export /2d exchange (and choose the settings as per the image attached).
(b) Step 2: open the result of step 1st :the result of step one will be a flattened .prt which when opened will give you a drafting only (nothing inside the model)
(c) Step 3 :Export as dwg :Now again open the 2d xchange and this time export this drawing sheet as a dwg format.
Hopefully this should give a better result.
