Hi gang, I have a customer that has sent me a DXF file from UG NX3. The contents of the DXF is there drawing formats. When I translate the DXF into WF2 the wire frame looks ok but the text in some areas are good, but in other areas the texts repeats itself - no more than doubles itself. The GD&T, I expected it to weird out. Can anyone direct me to improve translation on WF2 side or what I need to tell the UG NX3 person what to select or make in there setting file.
Thanks in advance - Texaspete

You may want to suggest to him to try "2D Exchange". It is "File - Export - 2D Exchange". There are options the export the drawing as a DXF, DWG, and IGES. However, I always had issues translating Autocad files. It is something UGS had yet to perfect.
 
Texaspete,

I believe when exporting a DXF from UG there are two check boxes for text export. You can select Polylines or Text have your customer send you several exported DXFs with different options checked to see which imports the best. The customer will be allowed or forced to save changes to export options to a file which can be used to give you the best combination of export options.
