NX Direct Implementation Note

The 3D InterOp product suite provides both Direct translators and Parasolid kernel-based translators to perform NX Translation. For 3D InterOp Graphical, the specification between NX Direct or Parasolid-based NX translation is based on the presence or lack of pskernel.dll in the system path. If pskernel.dll is not found in the system path, the Direct NX translator will automatically be used. If pskernel.dll is found in the system path, the Parasolid-kernel based NX translator will be used.

Note: The appropriate current license key must be available.
