Import from Parasolid

When importing Parasolid 3D models you can customize following parameters:

Data Organization

Following modes are available:

•Assembly
The model will be imported with the creation of the assembly structure. New documents are created on the disk for storing of the fragments and the assembly. After the import is completed, the created assembly file will be opened in the T-FLEX CAD window.

•Set of Bodies.
The model will be imported as a set of independent external models corresponding to the individual parts of the assembly. The imported model is added to the current T-FLEX CAD document.

•One Body
The result of the import is single body. The result is similar to the result of using the External Model command.

Create associative references. If the checkbox is enabled, the system tries to recreate associative dependencies between imported objects, similar to the ones existing in the source file.

Entity Types to Import

In this group of checkboxes you can select the objects to be imported into the document: Solids, Sheets and Wires.

Other Parameters

Update Product Composition
Option manages the creation of product structure based on data from file: Description (Product name) and Part No (Product ID). It should be used only if records for the product structure exist in the imported file.

 Add BOM items for bodies

 If the option is active, records about bodies will be added to the product structure.

Heal Geometry
If there are problems with imported geometry the system will try to fix them.

Check Solids
If the option is active, the import will check the correctness of the imported geometry. If errors are detected, messages will be displayed in the diagnostics window.

Destination folder
In this input box you can specify folder for the created parts and assembly documents. The button to right of the box invokes the standard folder selection dialog.
