The UG reader generates the following metadata:

 

CADIO_FEAT_PARAM_IDS

Type

Entities

Description

entity

array

points

lines

surfs

solids

This metadata is assigned to the geometric objects for which the imported parameters apply.  One or more parameters may control a particular object.

This association is only for parameters that are directly assigned to the object in NX.  The association is not done for any parameters that may be part of an expression, since that relationship can be determined from the parameter expression itself.

Generated when @ImportParameters = on

 

COLOR_RGB

Type

Entities

Description

string

points

lines

surfs

solids

Three RGB values, ranging from 0 to 255, indicating the color of the entity in the CAD model.

Generated when @ColorAsMetadata = on

 

DENSITY

Type

Entities

Description

double

solids

The density value, as specified in the CAD model, if one exists.

Generated when @DensityAsMetadata = on

 

FULL_NAME

Type

Entities

Description

string

params

Parameters are named with the NX default name.

This contains the full name of the parameter, as defined in NX.

Generated when @ImportParameters = on

 

MERGE

Type

Entities

Description

integer

comps

Set to 1 if the Merge assemblies option is chosen in the Part browser.

Generated when @Merge = on

 

MODELUNIT

Type

Entities

Description

integer

comps

The model units specified in the CAD file.  Values include:

1 = inches

2 = millimeters

4 = feet

5 = miles

6 = meters

7 = kilometers

8 = mils

9 = microns

10 = centimeters

11 = microinches

12 = decimeters

13 = yards

This is always generated.

 

NX_MIDSURFACE

Type

Entities

Description

integer

comps

Generated and set to 1 if the component was created during import to contain midsurface geometry.

 

ORIGINAL_ID

Type

Entities

Description

string

points

lines

surfs

solids

The original CAD entity ID.

Generated when @OriginalIdAsMetadata = on

 

TAG

Type

Entities

Description

string

points

lines

edges

surfs

solids

The tag (name) of the entity as read from the CAD model, if one exists.

Generated when @TagsAsMetadata = on

 

TRANSFORMATION_MATRIX

Type

Entities

Description

string

solids

A 4x4 transformation matrix from the global reference system to the part reference system.

Generated when @DensityAsMetadata = on

 

UG_DESCRIPTIVE_PARTNAME

Type

Entities

Description

string

assems

comps

The UGNX descriptive part name of the assembly/comp. For example, its attribute DB_PART_DESC. This is always generated, if present.

 

UG_PARTNAME

Type

Entities

Description

string

assems

comps

The UGNX part name of the assembly/comp. This is always generated.

 

UNIQUE_ID

Type

Entities

Description

string

assems

points

lines

surfs

solids

For assemblies the name of the UG assembly.

For geometrical entities a combination of the body identifiers and the entity ID.

Generated when @UniqueIdAsMetadata = on

 

<name>

Type

Entities

Description

integer

double

string

points

lines

surfs

solids

comps

assems

The <name> field is the UG attribute name and the integer/double/string is the value of the UG attribute.

Generated when @AttributesAsMetadata = on
