Specifies how the JT document is imported.

Optional Precise Geometry

Import Surfaces

Specifies that you want to import surfaces from the JT file.

Import Curves

Specifies that you want to import curves from the JT file.

Actions on Import

Stitch

• Heal and Stitch

  Specifies that you want to heal and stitch free surfaces to create a solid body. When given a set of sheet bodies the software cleans the input sheets of self intersections and loop inconsistencies. It then identifies and removes very small surfaces or sliver sheets from the set of sheets. Edges of adjacent surfaces are then used to fill holes where slivers were removed. Larger holes from missing surfaces are also filled. After the healing process is complete a single stitch operation at 1.0e-5 (meters) is attempted to create a solid body.

• Stitch Surfaces

  Specifies that you want all surfaces and sheet bodies to be stitched to a tolerance of 1.0e-5 meters. It may be to your advantage not to stitch the surfaces on import, but to evaluate what needs to be stitched and perform the stitch after you import the file. This option is on by default. If the stitching operation creates a valid volume, the volume is converted to a solid.

Group Curves in a Single Part Copy

Specifies that you want to combine all curve data into a single part copy. It may be to your advantage to identify the curves that you do not need and either hide or delete them before importing the file. This option is on by default.

Boolean Solids

Specifies that you want to boolean all solid bodies together to form a disjoint solid and insert into PathFinder as a part copy. This option is on by default. If the option is off, all solid bodies are added as individual part copies to PathFinder.

Body Check

Specifies that you want to perform a full body check on the file. This option is off by default.

Make Base Feature

Specifies that you want to make the imported solid body the base feature for the Solid Edge model.

If there is more than one solid body in the file, no base feature is created. In this case you need to create the base feature.

If you are in the Synchronous environment:

1. Select the body to which you want to add features.

2. Click the right mouse button and select Toggle Design/Construction Body.

3. Click the right mouse button and select Activate Body.

If you are in the Ordered environment:

1. Select the body to which you want to add features.

2. Click the right mouse button and select Make Base Feature.

If you clear this option, all solid bodies contained in the file you are importing are placed in PathFinder as a part copy rather than a body feature. Inserting bodies as a part copy requires you to select or create a base feature.

Link to File

Specifies that you want to create an associative link between the JT file and Solid Edge file.

Output Folder

Allows you to specify an output folder for the documents you are importing. This is very helpful when you open foreign files with an assembly template. When Solid Edge encounters multiple bodies, the documents for each body are created and written to the specified folder with a .PAR extension. If you open single body foreign documents with a part template, Solid Edge does not automatically save the .PAR file to this folder. However if the log file is enabled it is written to this folder.

Output Folder is the Same as Input Folder

Specifies that you want the output folder to be the same as the input folder for the documents you are importing. If you select this option and import an assembly, the assembly and the individual parts in the assembly are imported to the same folder.

Browse

Displays a dialog box that allows you to specify an existing folder or create a new output folder for the documents you are importing. This option is not available if you Output Folder is the Same as the Input Folder option is selected.
