No problems. I just did a Save a Copy as a Parasolid transmit file from Wildfire build 2003490 and it is in V10 format, which was used by UG V15. The Parasolid version in UG V18 is V13. I would guess that NX2 uses V15.

Looselib: I have WIldfire build 2003370. Please clarify on what type of file extension (*.?) should I use to save my assembly model so that my supplier can open in Parasolid v11? File>save a copy>type>? Thanks for your quick reply.
When I saw this thread I felt that pro-e was finnaly starting to be come friendly. We run Solidworks also and parasolid files for file translation in the solid world are almost better than sliced bread. So I went and added it to my config.pro and the dot when green and I exported a parasolid file, it even had size to it. But to much over antisipation when I imported it into Solidworks, there was nothing at all, not even a crummy surface. Am I doing something wrong?
I was wondering if there is a different option of exporting Wildfire 2 to parasolid (UG V18). I believe Wildfire export it to V10 and our GM customer can not read the files since they are on UG V18.
All Parasolid files should be upward compatable. A V10 Parasolid should have no problem being read into a system that is using a higher version of teh Parasiolid kernel. In the case of UG V18, it is using the V13 Parasolid kernel and can read files exported from Wildfire 2, which is still creating Parasolid V10 files.
We have ecported Parasolid files from V18 and read them into WF1.

All Parasolid files are not upward compatable. At least that's what I've found. I'm having the same issue with Pro/E WF2 exporting a V10 Parasolid file. I have yet to find a current system that will import this older kernel transmit file. Including Pro/E's own product called Pro/Desktop 2001. Pro/Desktop gives you the option of exporting a Parasolid version 10 thru 13. Is there any way to tell Pro/E to export a V13 or higher Parasolid? A mod of the config.pro file maybe?
This the answer I got from Unigraphics:
"Parasolid is upwards compatible so most systems will be able to import. Actual since V13.2 it is also backward compatible!"
I guess I need to do some checking on the PTC side now.
"Wildfires are dangerous, hard to control, and economically catastrophic."
"Fixed in the next release" should replace "Product First" as the PTC slogan.
