Automatic export is mainly used to integrate KOMPAS-3D into a PLM system environment using the JT format. The export parameters and the location of the resulting files in this case depend on the PLM system requirements to such files.

Activating and configuring the automatic export

1.Select the Settings – Parameters...  menu, and in the left pane of the dialog box that appears, select the System — Files — Auto Export Models section.

2.On the right side of the dialog box, select the option Automatic export to JT.

By default, the JT format files are saved in the same folder as the source file. The name of the jt-file consists of the name of the source file and a suffix that copies the extension of the source file. If required, you can specify a different folder for writing. Please note that in this case the export is made by copying the full file path.

More details on configuring automatic export to JT format...

To configure the export settings that will be used for automatic saving, click the Establish... link. Specify the settings in the dialog box that appears, and then click OK.

Unlike the parameters specified for export using commands (see above), the parameters specified during the automatic export setup are saved in the system.

3.Close the Parameters dialog box by clicking the Apply button.

Once automatic export to JT format is enabled, the following steps will be performed when saving models:

•write the current model to file,

•export the current model to JT file according to the settings: with the parameters specified during the configuration and to the folder specified during the configuration.

Please note that the model is exported to the JT format not only when you click Save or Export, but also whenever the model is saved to disk.

If automatic export is enabled, the models saving time may be longer.
