Convert file |
This command allows you to convert files imported without conversion into the TopSolid format via the interfaces. Some interfaces are optional and are therefore not available. To view the interfaces and the supported versions, click here. This command is only available from the popup menu.
Creation Stages / Use:
With a right click on a non converted file, select the Convert File... command.
Depending on the file type, some options are available that simply need to be checked:
Transfer assembly structure. If the file to be imported is an assembly, each part and subassembly will become TopSolid documents. If the file to be imported is a part or if the option is not checked, only one document will be created in TopSolid.
Create an assembly document for files containing multiple bodies. A part can be made up of multiple bodies, for example when one form is subtracted from another. In that case, if the option is checked, the part imported into TopSolid will become an assembly with multiple referenced part documents.
Transfer attributes. Some interfaces also allow you to retrieve the attributes (color, level, description) of imported parts.
A results window will show if the conversion succeeded.
Importing a file requires converting the data. This operation requires system resources and can take some time depending on the size of the file. |
