In the %UGII_BASE_DIR%\TRANSLATORS\step242 folder there is no "step242ugnull_mm.prt" or "step242ugnull_in.prt" seed part as there is in corresponding folders for the STEP203 and STEP214 translators.
When importing a STEP AP 242 file into NX using the STEP242 translator, which seed part / template part, is used?
Solution
When you import a STEP AP_242 file into NX, a "Blank" template is used, (the template you find through File -> New, selecting "Blank" from the list).
A "Blank" template is essentially a part file with all settings based upon current NX customer defaults settings.
The unit used, mm or inch, is determined by unit stored in the STEP file.
