Export Flat Pattern.Description
When you export the flat patterns of the laminate objects, the Export Setup dialog box is now enhanced with more options to provide a better control over the exported items.
• When you export multiple laminate objects to the same file, you can now specify the distance between the laminate objects.
• The new markers Name and Roll direction now allow you to include the name and the roll direction of a laminate object in the flat pattern. The name of the laminate object is displayed just below the seed point in the flat pattern.
In the exported file:
• The selected type of the ply thickness (cured or uncured) for draping a laminate object is provided in the DXF information field.
• Additional DXF layers are created in the exported file to separately control the visibility of the geometry and text of the exported laminate object.
Benefits
These enhancements provide a better control over the exported information and improve productivity.
