SAVING TEXTUAL DRAWING INFORMATION<br />

726<br />

While working with T-<strong>FLEX</strong> <strong>CAD</strong>, you can create text documents (files) containing various information<br />

about a drawing or a model:<br />

• A system of drawing variables, with the respective values and defining expressions;<br />

• A report on variable modifications, including those used in animation;<br />

• Information about geometrical parameters of certain drawing elements;<br />

• Assembly structure.<br />

The saved information about drawing parameters can be used for preparing accompanying documentation or<br />

as input data to other applications.<br />

Saving Information about Drawing Variables to File<br />

One way to store drawing variables in an external file is by using the command “WP: Save Model<br />

Parameters”:<br />

Keyboard Textual menu Icon<br />

«Parameters|Save…»<br />

This command allows saving to an external file the values, expressions and comments for all or specifically<br />

external drawing elements, at user’s preference. The data is written using a specific format:<br />

LD = 110 /* 110 ; Part length: from 60 to 100 1 hole, from 100 to 110 2<br />

*/<br />

$vt1 = "Bushing" /* LD>100?"Bushing":"" ; */<br />

HD = 50 /* 50 ; Height of machined part (20-60) */<br />

UGL = 10 /* 10 ; Surface slope angle (0-10) */<br />

lo = 27.5 /* LD100?(LD+21):l01 ; */<br />

ld = 35 /* l01>LD+21||LD>100?(LD-l1+56):LD+20 ; */<br />

$vt2 = "Bushing 2" /* LD>100?"Bushing 2":"" ; */<br />

$vint = "Screw" /* LD>100?"Screw":"" ; */

Hooray! Your file is uploaded and ready to be published.
