    Hi James Lewis,
     
    Probably the Parasolid file you have might contain a sheet part.
    In the default import options when you import a Parasolid file, you will see that sheet is not selected.

    Please mark the sheet option and then try import the file.
     
    This might solve the challenge you're facing.
     
     
    Thanks

    Hi Aniruddha,

     

    Thank you for your quick response.

     

    My part do not contain any sheet parts.

    And I found that my problem is not creating environment variables for license file.

    I've created an environment variables for license file and import function worked.

    Before, I've just pasted license file in security folder.

     

    Best regards,

    James
