File Import and Export Options

You can open and insert files from many other modeling applications in SpaceClaim for editing, and save your SpaceClaim designs as many different file types. If you work frequently with non-SpaceClaim files, you should set your file options to optimize the importing and exporting process for your needs.

Note: If you try to enter a value that is out of the allowed range in the Options panel or the SpaceClaim Options dialog, you will see a red exclamation mark icon next to the field. You can hover over the icon to see a tooltip that will explain the valid values for the option.

Note: The General file options on the SpaceClaim Options dialog apply to all supported file types, regardless of whether a file type is listed on the left side of the SpaceClaim Options dialog. For a complete list of supported file types and usage details, see Importing: Supported File Types and Exporting: Supported File Formats.
