Export to JT, ACIS, PRC

Upon calling the command, the standard file selection window appears, where you should specify the name and location of the resulting file. Then the export parameters dialog appears. Similar dialogs are used for JT, ACIS and PRC formats.

JT Version

For JT Format you can additionally specify JT Version.

Data Organization

Following modes are available

•Assembly
The model is exported with assembly hierarchy, if such hierarchy exists.

•Set of Bodies
The model is exported without assembly hierarchy.

Entity Types to Export

In this group of parameters, you should enable checkboxes of object types to be exported. Following types are available:

•Solids
Object type is preserved.

•Sheets
Surface bodies export. Object type is preserved.

•Wires (for ACIS and PRC only)
If there is a wire body in an external operation, it will be exported.

•3D Images (for JT and PRC only)
Object is exported as mesh.

•3D Nodes (for PRC only)
Object type is preserved.

•Welds
Welds are converted into bodies.

•Curves (for ACIS and PRC only)
3D paths and routes export. Objects are converted into wire geometry.

•Profiles
3D profiles export. Closed profiles are converted into surfaces bodies. Non-closed profiles are converted into wire geometry.

Options

Color

Color of exported body can be inherited from one of the following source:

•Material
Main color of body material.

•Shading
Color specified in parameters of body or its faces.

Simplify geometry

Removes the redundant topology of the exported model bodies, if possible. For example, it can be "extra" ribs, breaking a cylindrical surface into segments. As a result, the size of the output file is reduced. The option does not change the quality of model. By default, it is disabled, because it increases export time and memory consumption.
