Hi Matteo,

Im also having a similar problem going from SC into EdgeCAM using either step or iges. I just have the standard translators but it seems getting data out of SC is a bit of a problem :-(

Rgds,

Paul

Paul,

as far as I can see from their website, the makers of edgcam use ACIS, at least for some of their stuff. Maybe you should try to use the native ACIS format of both SC and EC then for file exchange, to minimize the potential for translation trouble?

I think that would be a good solution, but sometimes customers ask me to send a STEP or IGES file, so I don't have the possibility to choose a different format.

I'm making some tests changing ProE "accuracy" and with lower values things work better (but some problems still remain).

Yeah me too !! Has your model been built completely in Spaceclaim Matteo?

Hi Paul.

The model I'm trying to open in ProE as STEP (exported from SC) is a STEP made with NX than imported to SC and modified and finally exported again as STEP 203 (I need it for a simulation in ProMechanica).
