Any of you know the difference between STEP-AP203 and STEP-AP214 files? I got a file from a customer (IGES) that Pcdmis would NOT import, it would get to 99% and puke the system out. So, I opened the IGES file in Geomagic (without a problem). Well, this is 'updated' data of a part I was already checking, had some minor changes. So, I wanted to pull it into the existing program, see the changes, re-program them and get on with my life. Well, the new data is in a different orientation than the old data was. So, in Geo, I changed basically re-aligned the data to match what they gave me the last time. I then exported it as a STEP - AP203 file. When I pulled it into Pcdmis, it pulled in, but was still in the original orientation of the file, none of the changes I had made stayed. So, I tried a exporting it as an IGES file, it would not import into Pcdmis. So, I tried the STEP - AP214 and THAT worked. So, is THAT the only difference between the 'steps' or am I missing something else?
Is it as simple as this:
STEP - AP203 will always be in the 'designed' or original XYZ orientation
STEP - AP214 will be in the CURRENT orientation
