Import Geometry not working properly

RobotStudio
1

I worked on a project in september and managed to import a geometry into the station. I can see it’s components and select several curves to create a path with autopath.
Today I wanted to add a new object, but I can’t get it working like the old one.

The new object is always grey, and I can’t seem to find a way how to get the new file to be as “smart” as the old one.
I create my files with NX 10 and tried exporting as stl, wrl and rsgfx. Unfortunately I can’t remember which type I used in september..

I must be missing something obvious but I don’t know what it is.

Cheers,
Toby

Have you tried exporting it as an acis (*.sat) file or as an iges file

.sat-files work fine, but I can’t create them with NX 10. Converting would be a possible alternative if I/we can’t find another solution.
How can I import .iges-files? My RobotStudio 6.01 only lists .sat, .wrl, .stl, .dae, .obj, .3ds and .rsgfx

Thanks for you quick reply :slight_smile:

Toby

You’ll need to the IGES option in RS if you want to use that format

Hi Neily,

where can I select that option? My Import Geometry Dropdown menu doesn’t contain an IGES option. I also couldnt find anything useful in RobotStudios options.

Cheers,

Hi Toby,
All CAD formats except Acis (.sat) require an optional license.

Oh I see. Then I’ll go with the conversion… (but I still can’t really understand how I did it a month ago haha)

Probably the 30-day trial period!
