sheetmetal parts as option on import ?
sheetmetal parts as option on import ?
(OP)
I'm on version 15 so bear with me on that part..
When opening an .xt file as an assembly is it possible to create the parts as sheetmeetal parts ? all parts default to .par files. I need sheetmetal parts as that's what they are and I need to flatten them ?
Currently I'll have a customer send the assembly xt as well as all individual files as xt's..
thanks in advance.. Craig

V15 was quite a while ago so I don't remember the exact procedure how to create that flat pattern, but check under the Tools (pull down) > flat pattern.
You will need to make sure your bend, and other, factors are set correctly set. I think you set them at Preferences (pull-down) > sheet metal
Maybe check your HELP documentation, or if you have CAST, for a better step by step procedure.
I am not really sure what a .par file is.

.par =solid parts cant flatten..
.psm sheet metal can flatten..
need quicker way to automatically create .psm files on import..
