Export To SolidWorks command allows you to directly export features to SolidWorks.
|
How to use Send To
SolidWorks command
|
1. |
Click File > Send To > SolidWorks.
|
|
2. |
Check Whole Data in the dialog tree.
|
|
3. |
Click Ok button.
|
Options in Detail
|
· Start From First Feature From the first feature in the Feature Tree in XOR will be exported into SolidWorks.
|
|
· Resume From Selected Feature From selected feature in the Feature Tree in XOR will be exported into SolidWorks.
|
|
· Only Selected Feature Selected feature will be exported into
SolidWorks. If you check Specify Face Or Plane Of Sketch Inside Of
SolidWorks, you can select
single sketch in XOR and a selected plane or planar face in SolidWorks can
be used as sketch plane. If you disable this option, you can select
multiple entities and send them to SolidWorks. |

Note
XOR can not send closed curve to SolidWorks, because it is closed but not periodic curve. So when modeling, dont create closed curve.
4) Filet
a) Constant Filet
- Support different radius on each edge
- Support Tangent Propagation
b) Unsupport Variable Filet
c) Unsupport Face Filet
5) Chamfer
a) Support chamfering by picking edge
b) Support chamfering by picking face
c) Support Angle/Dist, Dist/Dist
d) Support Flip Direction, Tangent Propagation
6) Loft / Loft Cut / Surface Loft
a) If Cut option is Off it will be converted to Loft
b) If Cut option is On it will be converted to Loft Cut
c) Support Merge option
d) Support single profile in the single Sketch
e) Support sketch as 2D and 3D
f) Not support Seam Position
g) Support single guide curve in the single Sketch
h) Support Guide Curve as 2D and 3D
i) Not support Guide Curve Influence Type, Start Constraint
j) Start / End Type Option
