Import file into document

 

 

 

 

This command allows to import a CAD file (ParaSolid, Step, ...) in a document by converting it "on the fly".

 

Creation Stages / Use:

 

Click the icon or select the Import File to Document... command from the File menu of the TopSolid button.

 

  1. Select the file to import and click Open.

  2. Select the import options.

  3. Validate.

 

 

  • The file is converted on the fly. It is positioned on the destination absolute frame. To move it, use the Transformation command.

  • When the file is being imported into the part document, an import operation is created in the tree. The imported file will also be found in the list of shapes.

  • The imported document does not become a PDM document, and is not referenced in the project tree.

 

 

  • The import in an assembly document is only available if the import file has several parts.

  • In the cas of a TopSolid'GMI file, this command only allows to update it. But first, it has to be imported with the Import a file with conversion command.
