3DS Import for SolidWorks Description |
|
| |
3DS Import for SolidWorks is a 3D Studio (.3ds) file import add-in for SolidWorks. This add-in gives SolidWorks the ability to import geometric data from 3DS files.
3DS Import for SolidWorks reads polygon mesh data stored in 3DS files and imports it into SolidWorks. A polygon mesh in a 3DS file is comprised of a set of triangular faces. 3DS Import for SolidWorks creates trimmed planar surfaces for each triangle and knits them together to create a body. If the polygon mesh is closed (i.e. it does not contain boundary edges) then 3DS Import for SolidWorks will create a closed body feature, otherwise an open surface will be created.
3DS Import for SolidWorks is very easy to use as it adds new commands to SolidWorks. It also adds a submenu to the SolidWorks menu called 3DSImport. The '3DSImport' submenu consists of the following commands:
Import - Import a 3DS file Help - Display the 3DS Import for SolidWorks help file Register - Register your copy of 3DS Import for SolidWorks About - Display the 3DS Import for SolidWorks About box 3DS Import for SolidWorks comes with detailed documentation for each command as well as a tutorial to get you started in the shortest possible time. |
