### Importing a Pro/ENGINEER File

PC-DMIS allows you to translate a Pro/ENGINEER file and import it into a PC-DMIS part program. This type of importation differs from interfacing directly with the Pro/ENGINEER CAD file as described in the "Installing and Using Pro/ENGINEER Direct CAD Interface" in the "Direct CAD Interfaces and Translators" documentation.

To import a Pro/ENGINEER file:

1. Open the part program in PC-DMIS into which you are going to import the Pro/ENGINEER file.

2. Select the File | Import | Pro-Engineer menu option. An Open dialog box will appear.

3. Choose Pro/ENGINEER Files from the Files of Type list at the bottom of the dialog box. PC-DMIS lists program files ending with these extensions: .prt and .asm.

4. Navigate through the available directories until you find the directory containing the desired Pro/ENGINEER 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.
