Chapter 10. How can I select CAD formats?

Before you can generate and then download parts, you must have selected at least 1 format from a maximum of 5 possible. If you have not yet made a selection, the corresponding dialog area opens automatically when you click on Generate CAD MODEL (or CAD ). Otherwise, you can open the area at any time via the Formats -> Add formats buttons.

The buttons for Generate CAD MODEL or Format settings are displayed on the right-hand side of OEM portals, and may also be displayed above the table depending on the portal (some supplier portals). See also ???.
