Importing Geometry
You can import surfaces, solids, sketches, curves, and graphics models
(CATIA CGR, STL, or VRML files only) from ACIS, CATIA CGR, IGES, Parasolid,
Pro/Engineer, STEP, STL, VDAFS, or VRML files as reference geometry into
part documents.
To import the geometry from another application:
-
In a part document, click Imported
Geometry on the Features toolbar, or click Insert, Features,
Imported.
The Open dialog box appears.
-
Browse to the desired file, and click Open.
For ACIS, IGES, STEP, STL, VDAFS, or
VRML files, you can click Options
to set the import options. A dialog box appears with options for Pro/Engineer
files.
One or more features are imported, and the Imported
features are added to the part. The features are positioned relative to
the origin, using the coordinates in the imported file.
Wireframe geometry and curves are ignored
when importing surfaces as reference geometry.
