Importing a Parasolid

[Threept82]

• Good morning all,

I've noticed this with the last several versions of Mastercam.

When I need to import a Parasolid file (*.X_T)  the Parasolid file needs to be sent in a lower version of itself.

Mastercam isn't set to import the current level of the file.

Is there a setting I can change or is it what it is?

Thanks

See the attached screen shot.

You can set the version of parasolid you want to export there.

Import is limited to the max version your seat of Mastercam supports.

If you check the dropdown you will see the max version your seat of Mastacam can support for both import and export

Every new release of Mastercam and SolidWorks, NX SpaceClaim etc support a newer version

Mastercam 2024 supports import and export of parasailed versions up to  35

The only way to support a larger version of what you currently have is to update Mastercam to a newer release.

If you are creating parasoilds in house you should set the export version in SolidWorks.NC etc 

to the max version supported by your seat of Mastercam

That was added for 2024, in previous versions they shared the same settings at Export.
