ProE Translator (SW2007) does nothing

I don't receive an error message -- or a new part window. When I hit 'Ok' the dialog box simply disappears.

Whats the diff between a '*.prt' file and a '*.prt.3' file? I even tried lopping off the .3 :)

It should be a real part. I have a large assembly that needs some work and, although it does come in if imported as a step file, I lose alot of info. I was hoping to get some intelligence back by opening the original ProE file.

I'll try it on a different part and see if anything changes.

Thanks j.

Don't expect feature information. dumb solid is all you're going to get unless it's a VERY simple part.

I don't believe so, no -- windows OS. I thought it odd to have a 'double dot' extension: xxxxxxx.prt.3 then again its my first encounter with ProE files.. is this unusual?

The numbers at the end of the extension show the number of times the files was saved or revised. Shouldn't be the problem.

The .3 just means that this is the 3rd copy of the part. It shouldn't have any effect on whether or not it opens in SW. WF2 parts normally come into SW (at least 2006) without problems.

Sorry, didn't see the other posts on the subject.

When you tried the import, did you choose the option to import features or just the bodies when asked. I've seen it try to import features on simple parts without to much difficulty but on more complex parts bomb when trying to import them. Try to do an import and just do the bodies and see if that works. You wont get any intelligence in the model.
