| − | The Import/Export interface is now expandable/compressible.<br><br> | + | The End Length Adjustments values are no longer doubled in the Cut Length calculation.</td> |
| − | You can display or hide protocol choices in the interface.<br><br>
| + | |
| − | New imports and exports were added:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Example of a new IMPORT: Solid Edge XpresRoute bender files in the TXT format<br><br>
| + | |
| − | * Example of a new EXPORT: [[SMI]] bender format
| + | |
| − | <br><br><br>
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | (Note about the XpresRoute import: This file format uses bender LRA data to define the tube shape, therefore the original orientation of the part is lost during export from Solid Edge. Also this file does not contain the tube diameter. However, it does bring in the part name, the linear display unit, the cut length, and the LRA bender data.)
