Re-importing Models
Scripting supports recording and playback for imported models with persistent ID maps. This allows the following:
- Start recording
- Import a model from another CAD system
- Make changes to the imported model
- Save the script
- Import a new version of the model (that is. it was changed and saved in the source system)
- Playback the script on the new version
Notes:
- The import of the model must be recorded so that the ID Map is inserted in the script
- The ID Map makes the script binary so that it can only be edited in SpaceClaim
- To import a new version, you need to make sure that the correct version number is called for in the script
Limitations:
- Assembly hierarchy in the source system cannot change between imports
- Part names in sub-assemblies cannot change between imports
