Import from Pro/ENGINEER into Alias via Pro/RENDER
 
 
 

To convert Pro/ENGINEER Render format files into Alias wire files

  1. Open a Unix shell.
  2. Type the utility help command:
    PRenderToAlias -h
  3. Choose from the following options to write your command.
    PRenderToAlias 
    Arguments: [<options>] [<infile> [<outfile>]] 
    Options: 
    -s 
    scale Input scale factor (for example. -s2.0) 
    -u 
    Input units. Acceptable values are MI,FT,IN,MIL,UIN,KM,M,CM,MM,UM]. The default is -uIN 
    -g 
    Group the geometry 
    -n 
    Do not merge vertices 
    -r 
    Recalculate vertex normals 
    -p
    Merge vertices according to xyz position only 
    -t pos_tol 
    Specify merge vertices position tolerance value in input units. The default is 0.0001.
    -a nrm_tol.
    Specify merge vertices normal tolerance value in degrees. The default is 1 degree. 
    Where: 
    <infile> is a Pro/ENGINEER Render file. If it is absent, input comes from stdin. 
    <outfile> is an Alias wire file. If it is absent, output goes to stdout. 
    By default all vertices are merged according to their positions and normals. 

Examples

PRenderToAlias crankshaft.slp crankshaft.wire 
PRenderToAlias -g -t0.001 hammer.slp hammer.wire
