Parts losing location when imported

General Questions
1

I am doing a fairly simple analysis with version 1.3.3 that requires some carefully located parts but when I bring the files into ProPoMax (either in stl or step) they loose their position and while I can use translate to move them around it is a not easy or straight forward.

I am using Solid Edge to generate the CAD files, I don’t know for sure if the issues are in the generation or importation but the assembly is correct before I save the export format and generally I have found Solid Edge to generate high quality exports.

Any ideas? I might test some earlier versions of PrePoMax as I don’t recall this being an issue before with some rather similar models.

Thanks

Luke

Can you share some simple model from SE for tests ? Have you tried importing the STEP files to another program, like FreeCAD ?

my issues may be my own damn fault (usually the issue) I think the CAD model has some assembly issues after all.

thanks
