| 1. Setting the direct CAD insert fuction |
 |
The direct CAD insert function
is a very useful command that allows you to directly
insert a selected part into the CAD software without
outputting it as a file. Here, you can specify which
CAD program to insert the part into.

The created CAD drawing can be output
in various file formats.
When selecting "Save as" from the pull-down
menu of File or from the toolbar, you can specify a format
as the default file type.

| 3. Setting image layers and types of lines (2D/DXF/DWG) |
| |
When a part is loaded in CAD, the
number of image layers may increase causing the management
of image layers to take more time and effort. To solve
this problem, you can modify the settings so that CAD
data such as the solid line, the center line and hidden
line can be selected with any image layer name, color
or line type, according to your operating environment.
In addition, you can make settings for multiple clients such as different image layer settings for companies A and B according to their operating environments. |
| |
By changing the output layer, you can take out CAD data with various image layers, colors or line types.
