Summary


Details

When importing a CGM file into a drawing (in NX Drafting) a new sheet is automatically created to store the CGM file, it is not imported into the current/active drawing sheet.



Solution

 A CGM file can be imported into the active sheet using the following procedure:


1. Open the drawing/sheet in NX


2. (Optional) Set the Work Layer via 'Menu -> Format -> Layer Settings -> Work Layer'. (This will be the destination layer for the CGM file.)


3. Change the application from 'Drafting' to 'Gateway' ('File-> Start -> Gateway...')


4. Import the CGM File ('File -> Import -> CGM...'). The CGM file will be imported into the sheet view of the active drawing sheet.
