Hi,
I'm trying to share a document with a neutral CAD program which is STEP 242. I'd been doing test to learn how it works.
After having a 3D model with all the PMI data needed I chose Publish STEP 242 File button ( I have SOLIDWORKS MBD license) and the .stp doc is created, then when I try to open it with I recreat the model but no PMI data is there.
Anyone have the same problem? Solutions?
If I open the documents with eDrawings of PMI data is there.
Thank you!
First and foremost, where are you attempting to import your file as different systems may have different requirements when importing files with MBD data.
Assuming your simply trying to import your test file back into SW … Did you check the option ''Include PMI'' when importing your STEP 242?
Additionally, you could check to ensure the annotations are displayed (right-click annotation in the Feature Manager Tree)
I'm not sure if anything has changed over the past year or so as we do not have the plug-in/add-in for MBD any longer but I'm relatively sure those were the primary issues encountered when we did have it ...
