Supplier Compliance

Because of the upgrade to UG NXv4, suppliers may need to transition to latest working version of Unigraphics. Please see below for a breakdown of Supplier Interaction

Suppliers that Send UG Data to International:

Though we would like to have all UG data in NXv4, it is not necessary to upgrade until it you feel necessary.

Suppliers that Receive Data From International:

It will be necessary to upgrade to NXv4, as UG does not support backward compatibility for UG part files, only Parasolids. (Understanding this transition period may take some time; we will provide 3D models in Parasolid format and 2D Data in CGM format).
