Edit Non-History-Based Data

Edit Non-History-Based Data

When displaying data created with other CAD software in IRONCAD, use intermediary file formats such as STEP or x_t to exchange the data.
In IRONCAD, import the data using the [Import Geometry] command.

The imported data will appear as a single solid body, as shown in the figure below.

In general 3D CAD software, data without a design history cannot be edited after import.
However, IRONCAD allows you to easily make the following modifications to non-history-based data:
  1. Extend the length of a plate.
  2. Change the position of a Hole.
  3. Modify the bend angle.
  4. Recover hole features for editing
Please refer to the video below.
