T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

Converting Documents Created in Earlier Versions of T-FLEX CAD
The group of parameters “When Error
Occurred” defines the system response on
the occurrence of errors during regeneration
or saving of the documents:
Stop – stop the conversion;
Save – saved the document despite the
errors;
Do Not Save – do not save a document if
errors occurred during its regeneration;
Ask – display a dialog box with the error
message and ask the user about further
actions.
The group of parameters “Backup Copy”
allows turning on the mode of creating
backup copies of all the files with the
specified extension.
The group of parameters “Log” is provided
for controlling the information displayed in
the lower part of the converter window and
in the protocol file.
The flag “Save Log” allows saving the
information about the conversion process in the protocol file. The name and the path of the protocol file
can be specified to the right of this flag. If this flag is disabled, the protocol file is not saved.
The parameters “Output List of Documents with Errors” and “Output List of not found Fragments”
control the output of certain information into the log.
The group “Multithreading” has only one parameter “Number of Treads Limit:”. It allows a user to limit
the maximum number of simultaneously started processes upon the conversion.
Upon conversion, the T-FLEX starts several processes in which simultaneous regeneration of not
depending on each other files takes place (if they do not have relationship parent/child in the assembly).
While doing it, by default, to achieve the maximum effectiveness, the number of started processes is equal
to the number of processors on the computer (this allows engaging all resources of the computer). This
parameter allows put a limit on the number of processes and the computer resources used by the processes.
The parameter “Convert Selected Documents Only (ignore children)” is provided for selecting the mode
of assembly conversion. If set, only the selected files will be converted. The fragment documents that
belong to the current assembly, yet are not specified in the file list, will not be converted.
Don’t Check Documents Versions (Resave All). If not set, the documents in the up to date version of T-
FLEX CAD format will not be converted (except the assemblies, whose fragments were converted). If set,
all files will be converted, regardless of the format.
The following group of parameters is used only when converting documents containing 3D models:
Use geometry search. With this parameter turned on, if errors occur during the model element
regeneration (for example, an error regenerating a 3D node created at a body vertex, or an error
regenerating an edge or face blend), the geometry search procedure is launched, that allows restoring the
lost geometry references.
