Enable CAD drawing translators

NxToCgmDirect translator Translates UG (.prt) files to CGM (.cgm) files. It connects to Teamcenter to perform the translations. Prerequisites: This is not supported on four-tier or SSO environments. Ensure that a matching user name is available in Teamcenter for the user name of the user running the translator module. This user must have all read and write and checkin and checkout privileges to perform translations. Note To overcome this limitation, modify the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\nxtocgmdirect\nxtocgmdirect.bat (Windows) or Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\nxtocgmdirect\nxtocgmdirect.sh (Linux) file to add the -u, -p, or -pf arguments. NxToPv translator Translates UG (.prt) files to JT (.jt) files. NxToPvDirect translator Translates UG (.prt) files to JT (.jt ) files. Prerequisites: This is not supported on four-tier or SSO environments. Ensure that a matching user name is available in Teamcenter for the user name of the user running the translator module. This user must have all read/write and checkin/checkout privileges to perform translations. Note To overcome this limitation, modify the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\nxtopvdirect\nxtopvdirect.bat (Windows) or Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\nxtopvdirect\nxtopvdirect.sh (Linux) file to add the -u, -p, or -pf arguments. ProEToDxf translator Translates the Pro/ENGINEER drawing files to the Autodesk Drawing eXchange Format (DXF) format. The batch file that starts the Pro/ENGINEER translator may have different names depending on the installation. The Dispatcher Server looks for InvokeProE.bat file in the bin directory to invoke the translator. Therefore, if the batch file has a different name, you must save the file as InvokeProE.bat in the bin directory for the Dispatcher Server to invoke the Pro/ENGINEER translator. Create a PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE environment variable that points to loadpoint/OS name/obj/pro_comm_msg.exe. For example, set PRO_COMM_MSG_EXE to: Copy C:\ptc\proe2000i2\i486_nt\obj\pro_comm_msg.exe Enable the translators You can use TEM or Deployment Center to install the translator or manually edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. The following is an example of how to edit the translator.xml file to enable the translator. Procedure Open the translator.xml file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\conf directory. Set the isactive attribute to true to activate this translator. Note By default, this attribute is set to false. Open the translator.bat (Windows) or translator.sh (Linux) file from the Dispatcher_Root\Module\Translators\translator_name directory and edit the CHANGE_ME tags. For more information about CHANGE_ME tags, see the .bat file for the translator.
