Import of native CAD formats

ARCO CAD : I marchi registrati sono proprietà dei relativi dtentori ARCOCAD Cad manages direct import without conversion of the most used CAD formats: CATIA v4, CATIA v5, PRO/Engineer, Unigraphics, SolidWorks.
For all other cases the neutral IGES, VDA and DXF formats will be used.

(Registered trademarks are property of their respective owners).

Layer CAD management

When a CAD model is brought in ARCOCAD Cad the layer structure decided by the designer is maintained. The layers can be viewed, blocked or excluded from the calculations. It is possible to associate them to geometrical elements and then export everythingi in a new IGES format. The imported entities can be moved among the layers according to the inspector's requirements.

Group management

During the organisation of a CAD model it is possible to create groups of elements or surfaces. These groups can be used for best fit operations or to force the projection of points only to specific areas.

Extracting geometrical elements from CAD

While programming it is possible to define the geometrical elements selecting them from CAD.
By selecting the geometrical entities, the CAD engine will return the nominal feature required to start the inspection.
