POV-Ray (*.pov) Format<br />

692<br />

When exporting into the POV-Ray format, the Export into the<br />

format POV-Ray" dialog appears after entering the file name.<br />

Various POV-Ray utility commands can be defined in this window<br />

that will be processed at creation of the image being exported:<br />

texture application, rendering of various geometrical objects, light<br />

sources, camera positions, etc.<br />

Importing Documents<br />

Importing documents in T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong> from other systems is done by the command “IM: Import Drawing<br />

Or Model”:<br />

Keyboard Textual Menu Icon<br />

or<br />

<br />

“File|Import”<br />

After calling the command, the standard File<br />

Open dialog appears on the screen. In this<br />

dialog, specify the name of the file to import and<br />

its format. Then, either the conversion process<br />

starts immediately (for formats Rhino, Autodesk<br />

Inventor and SolidWorks), or the dialog window<br />

for specifying additional import parameters<br />

appears (see below).<br />

Note that the import of files in the<br />

format Autodesk Inventor is supported<br />

only when Autodesk Inventor or<br />

Autodesk Inventor View are installed<br />

on a computer.<br />

Parasolid Format<br />

To import a Parasolid file into the 3D version of the system, you can also use the command “3MO:<br />

Insert External Model”. More details on this are provided in the chapter “3D Pictures” of the<br />

“Three-Dimensional Modeling User Manual”.<br />

When importing Parasolid 3D models you should define the import mode: as<br />

Assembly or as Single Operation or as Bodies.<br />

This mode is important only when importing multibody models or<br />

assemblies. If original file is presented as one solid, the result will<br />

be the same in all modes.
