number Set the SDNF format type to 2.0 or 3.0. CAD (SDNF) Apply cuts and

fittings Set to Yes (default) to apply cuts and

Position number

type The SDNF file contains identifiers that can be included in a part’s user-defined attributes, or used as part position numbers.

Select Part position if you want the identifier to become the part’s position number. Do not use the Pos_No option with this option.

Select Universal ID if you want the identifier to become a user-defined attribute for the part.

For file imports from PDS or PDMS then the Universal ID option is the normal case.

To make user-defined attributes visible in the dialog boxes, you need to add them to the objects.inp file.

14.6 Export to CAD

You can export a CAD model in several formats.

NOTE Before you start an SDNF export, check that the advanced option XS_SDNF_CONVERT_PL_PROFILE_TO_PLATE has not been set on the Export page of the Advanced Options dialog box.

1. Open a Tekla Structures model.

2. On the File menu, click Export --> CAD . The CAD export dialog box opens.

3. Enter the paths to the required conversion files on the Conversion tab.

4. Go to the Parameters tab, and give a name to the export file in the Output file box.

You can also browse for the file.

5. Select the export format from the Type list.

6. Use the Origin X, Y, Z boxes to specify the origin of the exported model.

7. In PML export, define PML-specific information on the PML tab.

8. In SDNF, SDNF (PDMS) and PDMS export, go to the SDNF tab, and define the necessary information.

9. Select the parts in the model to export.

10. Click Apply and Create.

Tekla Structures creates the export file in your current model folder.
