The element

Description

Configuration

The field is used to load the configuration file, which contains the import parameters.

To select the desired configuration, click on the field name and specify the configuration file in the dialog that opens. The full name of the selected file will appear in the field, and the settings in the dialog will change to match those recorded in the configuration file.

The selected configuration applies to the current and all subsequent file import operations in this format.

More about import configuration...

If you want to stop using the configuration, click the Default  button (appears in the field after selecting a configuration). The import parameter settings will become default.

Save to file

The button allows you to write the current settings to the configuration file. After clicking it, you need to specify the name of the configuration file in the file saving dialog. The configuration file for importing from the STEP format (all variants) has the sikf extension.

The saved file is automatically selected as the configuration to use — its name appears in the Configuration field.

Group Parameters

Display properties

This option is used to enable/disable the import of colors of model objects

Create component files

The state of the option affects the process of creating components when importing an assembly model:

•If the option is enabled, the components are written to separate files and are independent models,

•If the option is disabled, the components are stored inside the assembly as local models.

CMP Parameters

This option is used to enable/disable the import of CMP parameters such as density and mass.

Assembly component attributes

This option allows you to specify where the data about the assembly components should be obtained from:

•If this option is enabled, the values of the component insertion attributes recorded in the assembly are used.,

•if this option is disabled, the component data is taken from the sources of these components.

Knit surfaces

This option is used to knit surfaces.

If this setting is enabled, the system will try to merge the imported surfaces. As a result, you can get a larger surface or solid (if the source surface is closed).

If this setting is disabled, the knitting won’t be applied, and the imported surfaces would be similar to the original ones.

Please note that the Knit surfaces setting only affects surfaces and do not affect bodies.

Knitting Precision

Field to enter the value of the maximum distance between the edges of knitted surfaces. The range of valid values is 0–1000 mm. The field is available when the option is enabled Knit surfaces.

Group Objects

This group of options is used to manage the import of model objects. When this option is enabled, objects of the corresponding type are imported into the model. The dialog contains the following options:

•Solids,

•Surfaces,

•Curves,

•Points,

•Layout elements — are imported sizes, designations, labels, and tables (when importing from format STEP AP214/STEP AP242 files),

•Technical notes — text objects are imported (when importing from format STEP AP214/STEP AP242).
