2023 and pmi data

[Leon82]

So with 2023 when our dealer guy was setting it up he he said there is a new extension for pmi data. Are we able to open the pdf like in jt to go?

 

Currently some of the customer models come in with the data and 2020 would make viewsheets with the dimensions. I haven't tried any in 2023 yet.

So matercam will open the pdf but it just displays the print. None of the jt views

 

There is an extension for a Siemens jt file. I think out customer would have to send us that.

I know we purchased a UG/NX Translator for .prt files.  We are using 2022 though.  Not entirely sure about 2023.  It's nice, but brings in tons of viewsheets, planes, and levels.  I usually save it, and use that file strictly for viewing, and reference, and create toolpaths in a separate file.

We cannot import 3D data from PDFs (yet).

We can now (in MC2023) import JT files - including any PMI - so I'd recommend that.

Or any of the other formats from which we can import PMI (STEP, NX, Creo, etc.....)

2023 supports all formats without a translator?

The NX, Creo, V5 and 3DXML importers all require additional licensing.
