Handover of Property Names

* From Femtet to other CAD

The body attribute names will be handed over to the CAD as component names.
 

* From other CAD to Femtet

Based on [Import Dialog], the assembly names or component names assigned by other CAD are handed over to Femtet as body attribute names and material property names.

If a DXF file is imported, the layer name will be handed over to the body attribute/material property names of Femtet.

 

  • Please note the handover rule mentioned above might not be valid for all the CAD software.
