These interfaces can be optional and need in this case additional licenses. This rubric allows to set-up the TopSolid behavior during other CAD files import (like Catia, Pro-Engineer, Unigraphics, ...) and to propose import options by default.

 

Creation stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select the Tools > Options... command from the drop-down menu.

 

  1. Click "+" in front of the Translators section in the left column.

  2. Click "+" in front of the Spatial translators section in the left column.

  3. Select General.

 

 

The Reset button allows to initialize this option to the original settings.

 

 

Available options:

 

  • General:

These options are only for Spatial interfaces (these interfaces are often optional).

  • Import:

    • Convert free curves: In some files to import, some curves non attached to the geometry may exist. They can be imported or not.

    • Translate free surfaces: In some files to import, some surfaces non-attached to the geometry may exist. They can be imported or not.

  • Translate hidden entities: Some interfaces also allow you to convert hidden entities.

  • Translate material: Allows to recover the materials of parts from Unigraphics NX, Catia V5, ProE (>=Creo 1), SolidWorks and Inventor. The known parameters are converted in a TopSolid material document which is then assigned to the created Part document. The unknown parameters are converted into user parameters.

  • Specific options:

Some specific options can be added to change the import or export behavior by selecting a type of interface in the drop-down list. These options are only provided by the technical support if a problem is occurring with this type of interface.
