IGES anomalies (cocreate to Autodesk Mechanical Desktop)

Hi Guys

Just starded new job and using Cocreate software for first time.(used to Solidworks, Solid Edge and Radan)

My knowledge of exporting neutral file formats to various CAD software is emailing people IGES or STEP files and to date never had a problem.

With Cocreate though when i save as IGES file they appear ok ( file size as should be and i can open them ok in Cocreate). Problem is when a colleague tries to open these cad models in Autodesk Mechanical Desktop for varification they appear to have various detail missing.

Detail that is there disappears when you pan around the model for example, cant draw dimensions from them etc......

There are two seats of Cocreate in my office and when exporting IGES from other machine there is no problem so by process of elimination one would figure this is localised to my machine / seat of cocreate.

is there anything obvious i am missing that maybe someone on here could help me with?? maybe a setting somewhere that needs ammending?

regards people

Re: IGES anomalies (cocreate to Autodesk Mechanical Desktop)

Are both seats of CoCreate running on computers using the same OS and graphics card?

If yes, then the easiest rout to take is to re-install CoCreate on the machine that isn't functioning well.

Re: IGES anomalies (cocreate to Autodesk Mechanical Desktop)

are the parts coming in with the color blue? are they missing certain surfaces?

if yes, could be a "face part" problem where the modeling accuracy of the source system is lower than that of cocreate...sometimes changing the accuracy of cocreate down to 1 x 10-3 helps

Re: IGES anomalies (cocreate to Autodesk Mechanical Desktop)

Have a new issue with rendering module and step file conversion!!!

when i apply a particular material to my model and save it as a package, this is ok regarding viewing the newly applied material.

The problem is when i save as a step file the material cant be viewed, you can see something is there as it is different to the rest of the model but as it is a decal image it needs to be just like the cocreate package in order to be legible!!

any ideas guys???
