current document. However, if an additional flag “Create new document” is set, then a new document will
be created for the assembly.
Import SolidWorks
When importing from SolidWorks, the imported model is placed into the current T-FLEX CAD document.
When importing the assembly model, each part of the assembly is imported to a separate file and inserted
into the current T-FLEX CAD document as a 3D fragment.
When importing an associative relation is maintained between the T-FLEX CAD 3D model resulting from
the import, and the SolidWorks source model. Whenever the source model is modified, the external model
imported in T-FLEX CAD can be updated.
If the SolidWorks of version 2008 and lower is installed on your computer, in the list of file types of the
command “IM: Import Drawing Or Model” there will be one more option of import from the Solidworks
(for example, “SolidWorks Files via SW API (*.sldprt, *.prt, *.sldasm, *.asm)”). When selecting this
option, an alternative version of the module of SolidWorks import module will be started. This module
allows importing the mates.
The input parameters dialog of alternative module displays the name of the imported part. The only import
parameter is the “Create new document” flag. It is disabled by default, and the import result is inserted in
the current document.
