STL file export - grid size

[harichennai]

Hi all,


How do I automatically set (Using config.pro)control the chord heightand angle control values(Deviation control parameters)when Iam exporting .prt to .STL?


Is there any option in config.pro? I searched but in vain..


Iam using Pro/E 2001..


Thanks in advance..

Hi there,


I dont think there is a config.pro setting to define the value. The next best thing in my opinion is a mapkey. The pasted text below sets the cord height to 0.01 if it is to low, prowill automatically take the smallest value possible. It really depends on the accuracy & complexity of the model.

Thanks Dojo,


I had to just change the values in chord length and angle before using it.


Thanks
