3DEXPERIENCE users can use the STEP format
for assemblies in a
Generate Derived Output task.
Benefits: You can
share the derived output from an
assembly without having to assign a CAD license to users of other departments.
You can use the
Generate Derived
Output task to include STEP AP203 or AP214 Derived Objects attached to
SOLIDWORKS
assemblies.
The
STEP
format is not available for the Design with SOLIDWORKS app
in
on-premise
installations.
The Generate Derived Output task
requires that you enter your 3DEXPERIENCE platform password when
creating the task. This allows the task to run SOLIDWORKS on your behalf at a future
date and time. For example, you can set up a task to run nightly and automatically
generate Derived Outputs for any assemblies or drawings added each day that
match
your search.
Previously, you could run the task only
once and within the same day.
To
generate STEP derived objects for SOLIDWORKS assemblies:
- Click Generate Derived
Output
on
the sidebar, or click .
- In Task title, enter a new title for
the task or leave the
default.
- Select one of the following STEP formats for Derived Output Format.
- Select a Collaborative
Space.
- For Maturity, select
Released only or Frozen and Released.
- For Owner, select
All Content or My Content from the collaborative space.
- Enter your 3DEXPERIENCE platform
password in the Password field.
