Tab page "Transfer to CAD [Export to CAD] "

Tab page "Transfer to CAD [Export to CAD] "

  • Transfer active 2D derivation if 2D window is open, otherwise transfer of 3D model [Export selected 2D derivation view if 2D window is open, else export 3D model] (default setting)

    For 2D CAD systems, click on the 2D derivation button to create the 2D derivation 2D deriv [2D derivation] ation button.

    -> The 2D view dialog box opens. Select the desired view there.

    Various functions are also available, such as the dimensioning mode [Dimensioning mode] [121] are available. Further information on this can be found under Section 12.2.3, “Context menu and buttons "2D view" window ”.

    The Technical views selection is not available in this mode.

    [Note]Note

    If the button Transfer to CAD button is clicked without a 2D derivation having been specified beforehand, a default derivation is transferred.

  • Always ask if several options are available [Always ask, if more than one alternative exists]

    For 2D CAD systems or CAD systems with the 2D option, clicking on the Transfer to CAD button, the Select view to be transferred [Choose view to pass...]... dialog box opens. dialog box opens, regardless of whether the 2D view dialog box (opened using the 2D derivation ) is open.

    If the Select view to be transferred.

  1. CAD system has only ONE environment -> So only 2D or 3D is active.

    (valid for SW,SE,NX,OSDM,INV)

    The setting has NO effect.

  2. CAD system can handle multiple environments. -> Then the selection dialog will appear.

    (valid for Pro-E and AutoCAD)

    The setting takes effect.

In the list field under Behavior after "Transfer to CAD" you will find the following two options:

  • PARTdataManager into the background [Bring PARTdataManager into the background]:

  • Minimize PARTdataManager:

Detailed information on 2D derivation can be found under Section 12.2, “ Create 2D derivation ”.
