Summary


Details

--------------- 
Importing a STEP file into Native NX works and maintains the assembly structure 
as expected. Attempting to import the same STEP file into NX Manager fails.


Using Import to "New Part" raises the error "Translation did not complete".


Using Import to "Work Part" does not raise the Import into teamcenter dialog.



Solution

 In this case the STEP file name was matching the name of a component in the 
assembly. Which causes issues when defining the revisions for those items 
when importing into Teamcenter.


Importing the STEP file "ab01bc-12.step" into Native NX you can verify the 
component names in the assembly. In this case the component was also named 
ab01bc-12.


 ab01bc-12_step 
 | 
 - ab01bc-12


Renaming the step file to ab01bc-assem.step will allow the step file to import 
into Teamcenter and it will create items as ab01bc-assem/A and ab01bc-12/A.


 ab01bc-assem 
 | 
 - ab01bc-12
