- readMultipleParts
- A single CAD file will be the input. Each part inside the file will be physically separated and exported to create part structure.
- Default/Allowed: ON or OFF
Figure 1. - readmetadata
- Reads metadata from the IGS file and displays information such as PID and Name in the Parts attribute column.
- readFileHeader
- Reads information stored in the IGS file header and displays the information in the Part attribute column.
- readTransformation
- Takes care of reading and managing transformation or part position information. It also takes care of the parts position while CAD offset. Parts will not be in the correct position if this option is OFF while executing surface offset.
- thickness-update
- If this option is ON, the thickness value from the Offset function’s GUI will be used as the standard thickness for all parts during surface offset. This is done to assign clearance between parts while checking Intersection.
