hexagon logo

CAD cannot be created

I'm using pcdmis 4.1. whenever i change the file extension in catia to .iges, or .stp, then import the model in pcdmis. I never get what I want.
For instance, when I import .iges, I get a message, translation failed. Then another screen pops up, CAD cannot be created. When I import the Hexagon block from the WAI folder, no problem. Does anyone know how I can fix this? When I import a step model, it looks as though everything gets translated correctly, but there is NO model in the graphics display screen. CAn anyone help me fix that problem?

    I've never had any problem with the translator. The translator works great for the files in the WAI folder, such as, wireframe- hexblock, so on and so on. However, just recently I am not able to import any IGES files, from Catia. And when I import a STEP file, there is nothing in the graphics display screen. We used to be able to import step or iges with no problem, until recently. The CMM supervisor, here, doesn't know what to make of it. Getting another add-on, is not an option. Like I said, I can import some iges, from WAI. Not any IGES from Catia.
