Import File

[Tiggersman]

Our customer provided us with a .plmxml file and we need to import it into our Mastercam 17.  Can anyone help us accomplish this?

Thanks In advance

nope

I don't believe that is even a CAD format

Open Mastercam, go file open....you'll need to get it from them in one of those formats

That is a Siemens file. As JP stated you will need to get another file type.

#1 parasolid .X_T   Always been totally bullet proof as a transfer file for me. Has anyone here ever had a problem with one of these?

#2   .STP / .STEP  Pretty good but I have had the occasional problem

#2 Solidworks PART files much the same as above, Solidworks ASSEMBLY files can be difficult

Last  .IGES files      I guess files notoriously bad for use as transfer files

Great how things evolved in the past 20 years... When I started IGES was cutting edge exchange format even being almost 20 years old at the time. Mitutoyo Cosmos Software liked the VDA format.

Thanks everyone for the help !  Apparently they sent me the wrong file so Now we have a .PRT file that is 1 meg and every time we try to import it into Mastercam it request an access code.  I have reached out to our reseller but have not received any responses yet. 

Can anyone tell me how to open this file ? 

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a UGNX file.....though it "could" also be a Pro-E file,

The translator for both area purchased items......the only other one is the Catia translator...

See if you can get an x_t(Parasolid) ot .stp(Step File)

access code = a purchased file translator = $$$

as JP stated.. ask your customer to provide a step file or X_B or X_T

Can you share the file?

A .PRT file is a Pro Engineer file ( CREO ). You have to pay for a licence for the translator. As mentioned earlier, have them give you a neutral file like parasolid or STEP.

I am thinking it is an NX file not ProE.

 

[Guest]

Could be UG, Pro-E, Cadkey, even Solideldge.....

As it's not opening, Pro-E & NX are the likely suspects

The original file the OP was trying to open " .plmxml " is an NX file so I assume the .prt one is as well.

If you're able to share the file, someone here at the forum may be willing to open it and convert it to step, parasolid, whatever for you as a limited time favor to get you through this one.
