GeometryImportPreferences

This is used to provide import and reload (refresh) preferences for geometry file import. These preferences are identical to those exposed in the WB2 project schematic and Mechanical Geometry preferences. More information can be found in the “Geometry Preferences” section of the “CAD Integration” documentation. Both general and advanced preferences are provided.

Default values will be taken from the Mechanical preferences. This allows user-specified default values to propagate to these preferences.

Declaration Syntax

public class GeometryImportPreferences

Table 88: Members

Property

AnalysisType

Specify the analysis type to target during import.

Property

AttributeKey

If `ProcessAttributes` is `true`, import only those attributes with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified. An empty string matches everything.

Property

CADAssociativity

Allow associativity.

Property

Clean

Clean unwanted features when importing geometry.

Property

ComparePartsOnUpdate

Enable mesh preservation on refresh for unmodified entities.

Property

ComparePartsTolerance

Specifies the tolerance to use when comparing parts.

Property

CoordinateSystemKey

If `ProcessCoordinateSystems` is `true`, import only those coordinate systems with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified. An empty string matches everything.

Property

DecomposeDisjointGeometry

Enable the decomposition of disjoint geometries for the following associative geometry interfaces:

Creo Parametric (faces only)
Autodesk Inventor (bodies only)

Property

DoSmartUpdate

Speed up refreshes for models with unmodified components. Causes changes to other import preferences to be ignored during refresh.

Property

EnclosureSymmetryProcessing

Enable the processing of enclosure and symmetry named selections.

Property

FacetQuality

Specifies what facet quality should be used for the import. The default value is Source meaning that the facets as represented in the CAD system or use a Normal option for those that do not have display. The others are relative settings compared to "normal" facet quality. Typically, better facet quality requires more memory and may take additional time to import/update.

Property

MixedImportResolution

Allows mixed-dimension parts to be imported as assembly components with parts of different dimensions.

Property

NamedSelectionKey

If `ProcessNamedSelections` is `true`, import only those named selections with this prefix. Multiple semicolon-delimited filters may be specified.

Property

ProcessAttributes

Import CAD system attributes.

Property

ProcessCoordinateSystems

Import coordinate systems defined in the CAD source.

Property

ProcessInstances

Honor part instance specifications.

Property

ProcessLines

Import lines bodies.

Property

ProcessMaterialProperties

Import primary material data defined in the CAD source.

Property

ProcessNamedSelections

Import/create named selections.

Property

ProcessSolids

Import solid bodies.

Property

ProcessSurfaces

Import surface bodies.

Property

ProcessWorkPoints

Import work points.

Property

ReaderSaveFile

Save the part file of a model after the import.

Property

StitchTolerance

If `StitchType` is `User`, specifies the tolerance to use for stitching detection.

Property

StitchType

Specifies how surfaces should be stitched together.
