-------- General Settings ------

Output file path: A file path . The location to which the BSWX file is output. Type in the file path (if you know it), or press the " Browse... " button to browse for a folder in which to save the file.

File name: A file name . The output file name. If the ".bswx" extension is missing from this field, it will be added to the file name automatically when it is exported.

Export all available data: or .

If this box is checked ( ), then all 3D model data (members, bolts, holes), all CNC files, and all drawing files are exported.

If the box is not checked ( ), by selecting options on this window, you can choose which members to export, whether bolts and holes are exported, and whether CNC files and whether drawing files are exported.

Tip: Consider unchecking ( ) this option when you configure this tool so that it will be off by default when you activate the tool. That way, the export of all data -- which can be take a significant amount of time -- cannot be done accidentally.

Launch screen when running tool: or .

If this box is checked ( ), the StruMIS Export Tool Setup window opens when you activate the tool, for example, by clicking the StruMIS Export icon. It also opens when you configure the STRUMIS Export plugin.

If the box is not checked ( ), the StruMIS Export Tool Setup window does not open when you activate the tool. However, it still opens when you configure the STRUMIS Export plugin.

Note: Changing this setting when you activate the tool -- as opposed to when you configure the plugin -- will have no effect, because the tool updates its settings to match it plugin configuration.

Tip: Leave this option checked ( ) when you configure this tool if you have also checked " All members ( )" or " Export all available data ( )." The export of all the members in a large project can take a significant amount of time. In that case, it is useful to view the window so that you can " Cancel " the export if you activate the tool in error.

Model Data

All members: or . This applies when " Export all available data " is unchecked ( ); othewise, all member information is exported.

If this box is checked ( ), then all members are exported.

If the box is not checked ( ), you can choose which members to export using the " Member selection method " that you choose.

Member selection method: Detail sheets or Members . This applies when " All members " is unchecked ( ).

When ' Members ' is selected, you can select members for inclusion in the BSWX file when you activate the tool and press " OK ." The method of selection depends on how StruMIS Export was invoked:

If StruMIS Export was invoked in Modeling session (by clicking icon, for example), when you press " OK " you are prompted to choose members by selecting them on the 3D model.

If StruMIS Export was invoked from Home , when you press " OK " a selection dialog opens with a list piecemarks of members that you can select for inclusion in the BSWX file.

When ' Detail sheets ' is selected, a selection dialog opens with a list of detail sheets that you can select for inclusion in the BSWX file when you activate the tool and press " OK. "

Export group members as sub assemblies: or .

If this box is checked ( ), each group member is exported as a STRUMIS super-assembly, with its submembers exported as subassemblies.

If the box is not checked ( ), each group member is exported as single assembly with all material from its submembers exported as a single assembly.

Exclude bolts: or . This applies when " Export all available data " is unchecked ( ).

If this box is checked ( ), bolt information in your 3D model will be included in the BSWX file.

If the box is not checked ( ), bolt information in your 3D model will not be included in the BSWX file.

Exclude holes: or . This applies when " Export all available data " is unchecked ( ).

If this box is checked ( ), hole information in your 3D model will be included in the BSWX file.

If the box is not checked ( ), hole information in your 3D model will not be included in the BSWX file.

Exclude welds: or .

If this box is checked ( ), weld information in your 3D model will be included in the BSWX file.

If the box is not checked ( ), weld information in your 3D model will not be included in the BSWX file.

CNC

Attach NC files: or . NC files of the " CNC type " or types specified in the Computer Numerically Controlled window can be generated for each part by the StruMIS Export tool apart from the BSWX file.
