### Importing a Unigraphics or Parasolid File

PC-DMIS allows you to translate a Unigraphics or Parasolid file and import it into a PC-DMIS part program. This type of importation differs from interfacing directly with the Unigraphics CAD file described in the Direct CAD Interfaces help file.

To import a Unigraphics or Parasolid file:

1. To import a Unigraphics or Parasolid file:

2. Open the part program in PC-DMIS into which you are going to import the Unigraphics or Parasolid file. Your hardware key (portlock) must be programmed with the Unigraphics option to import Parasolid files.

3. Select File | Import | Unigraphics or File | Import | Parasolid. An Open dialog box will appear.

4. Navigate through the available directories until you find the directory containing the desired Unigraphics or Parasolid file and select that file from the list.

5. Click the Import button. PC-DMIS imports the CAD file, and a progress bar appears indicating its progress.
