Hi<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
I recently started a new position where I will be introducing a new 3D CAD system. I am looking at Pro Engineer, Solidworks and Inventor. My main driving factor is ease of use while maintaining the functionality of a top down sheet metal design package. My problem lies in that the company is insisting on keep its current software on the shop floor for programming its Trumpf Punch this leaves me with major data transfer problems. Does anyone have experience of transferring data from Pro Engineer, Solidworks or Inventor to Radan? In particular putting tooling symbols on parts created in the 3D package so they can be used by Radan?

Many thanks

Michael

I'd check out their forum, http://support.radan.com/Forums/NewUser.cfm


I believe you will find your answers there.


DTM Transfer could not be simpler to use. It automatically offers the user a choice of currently open models for transfer. If Radan 07 is running on the same workstation, the 2D & 3D data is transferred directly to the manufacturing application. Alternatively, the model can be saved to a file for transmission by e-mail, network or disc.


To make data transfer as seamless as possible, DTM extracts more than just geometry from CAD models*. For example, where 2D data is extracted into the Radan 07 Part Editor, sheet metal and material properties are made available too. In some cases*, additional CAD data is extracted by DTM to provide useful references within Radan 07 to simplify further processing.
* Features and capability vary depending on the source CAD system and release of DTM
