Summary


Details

When translating a NX part file, containing PMI data and view(s), to JT, the resulting JT file does not contain any legacy PMI section view(s). However, it contains PMI views and section views (former Lightweight Section Views (NX10 and earlier)).



Solution

Although PMI Section View (legacy) since NX11 is not the mainstream PMI section view solution, it can be made available in NX user interface, UI, using Customize (commands).
To get legacy section views to be translated from NX to JT you need to modify one "tessUG.config" parameter and add another, (you need to have both those settings at the same time).
MODIFY
     mergeSolids = true
ADD
     LegacyHeavyweightSectionViews = true

Please note: If you are using command line application ugtopv, use "-honour_structure" option.



If you have a mixture of legacy and new PMI Section Views and want both Section Views to be translated at the same time you need to modify an additional "tessUG.config" parameter:
     doSectionViews = true
