CoCreate OneSpace Designer - Commands Reference Manual

SAVE_SAT terminate action

SAVE_SAT saves specified OneSpace Designer parts in an ACIS (SAT) format text file. If you select a hierarchical assembly structure for translation from OneSpace Designer, the action routine also "flattens" the hierarchy of parts in the assembly.

Options

The following options are available to create a file in the ACIS (SAT) format.

The following qualifiers are mandatory before starting the OneSpace Designer to ACIS (SAT) translation:

:FILENAME - specifies the ACIS (SAT) file name. You can either use the file browser to select a filename, or type it into the user input area enclosed in double quotes (" ").
:SELECT - starts the selection process. You can select assemblies, parts, to build a list of mixed entities. You cannot select face-parts, or wireframes, and non-manifold parts cannot be converted to ACIS (SAT) format.
:OVERWRITE - specifies to overwrite an existing file.

When to use

Use this action to save specified OneSpace Designer elements in ACIS (SAT) version 1.5 format.

Example

The following parameter sequence creates an ACIS (SAT) file named "SOLID.SAT" for the part "/p1".

SAVE_SAT :FILENAME "SOLID.SAT" :SELECT "/p1"
