      In order to effectively manipulate the pmdb file in DM and SpaceClaim (once exported from DM as a parasolid),please set the import option “Target Geometry Type” to “DesignModeler”. Otherwise, many operations performed on the import would fail. Please see solution #2046763 for how to extract parasolid file using pmdb file.
