Import points with cad model via igs

BlueRay
Hello, this is the first time I've tried something like this and I'm not sure if it's possible... I'm importing a cad model via IGS and one of the layers of the model contains some points given to me from the engineering dept, but when I open the program the layer of points is just blank. All the surfaces and lines etc show as normal, but the points don't seem to transfer... Is it not possible to import points with the surfaces?

I'm using pcDmis MR1 custom

  • PC-DMIS should be importing the IGES points. When you click the "Process" button a log of the entities read will be displayed in the lower half of the dialog. You should see the number of point types that were processed to be imported. If there are points processed then the points were imported. If all the points are in the Not Processed column then no points were imported. This could indicate a problem with either the IGES file format or the PC-DMIS IGES translator. If this is the case, please file a report with PC-DMIS support and include the IGES file if possible.

    If all the points show up in the Processed Column then the problem could be with the point display options you have set. Open the Display Symbols dialog. Under Point Symbol set the type to CAD Point. Here you can set the size and display symbol for the CAD points. If it is set to Square or Round Dot then the size is in screen pixels. If it is 3 Lines of Sphere the size is in Part Program units. If the size is set too small the points will be too small to be displayed.
