Importing CAD files is done thanks to 2 commands:
-
Automatic Solid Import: reading 3D files only, with automatic process for positioning, creation of stock and origin definition. Milling (and Wire EDM) and Turning have 2 different processes.
-
Import : reading 2D and 3D files, without any other automatic action. Complementary actions are necessary after the import.
After importing a file from CAD, you have the possibility to save the *.PCE file in the same directory as the CAD file used.
Simply check the following option ‘Save in the same directory as the imported file’
Location : Software Configuration/save or Tools/Options/Save
