CAD functions for Models see also: MultiModelSupport Codes for Models Models use keycode M

M internal Model

Using internal sub-models in Cad mode: Select sub-models from a list (using middle mouse button) - or select an existing sub-model () Position,Orientation Origin and orientation of the submodel [Scale]: magnifying scale; default is 1 Examples: # Internal Submodel "SM1", rotated 45 degree around z-axis, scale=2 M20="SM1" R(P(100 0) 45) VAL(2) - External sub-models are internally cached, but not stored with the model - the model name must not include a path (and no '/' or '\'). - all exported objects of the submodel (its joints) will be imported Text of imported notes will be queried newly.) Using external sub-models in Manual mode: By keying in eg: M28=”Data/Mod1.gcad” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY Creation of internal sub-models: - Menu subModels / move main - new submodel copy (move) all objects of the active main model to a sub-model - Menu subModels / load sub-model from file Load a model from a file into a new (external) sub-model. - Menu subModels / save active submodel to file - save internal-submodel to file (makes external-model)

M external Model

Using external sub-models in Manual mode: Positioning an external sub-model Submodel - Select a modelfile from list (or use middle-mousebutton) ) - or select an existing sub-model Modelname: see Symbolic filenames. Position,Orientation Origin and orientation of the submodel [Scale]: magnifying scale; default is 1 The filename can have a symbolic-pathname and also system-variables. External sub-models are internally cached, but not stored with the model. Examples: M20="Data/Niet1.gcad" R(P(100 0) DIY) VAL(0.5) M21="Data/wsh14.stp" R(P(200 0)) M22="Data/obj43.wrl" R(P(0 0 0) R20) # Mockup-Model Using external sub-models in Manual mode: By keying in eg: M28=”Data/Mod1.gcad” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY Creation of external sub-models: - Menu subModels / load sub-model from file Load a model from a file into a new (external) sub-model. - Menu subModels / save active submodel to file - save internal-submodel to file (makes external-model)

M CatalogPart

Using CatalogParts in CAD mode: Positioning an Catalog-Part CatalogPart - Select a catalogPart from list (or use middle-mousebutton) - or select an existing catalogPart () The catalogPartname consists of catalog name, part name; see Catalog. Position,Orientation Origin and orientation of the submodel [Scale]: magnifying scale; default is 1 Example external Model: M22="Schrauben/SKS_10x30.ctlg" P20 VAL(1) Using CatalogParts in Manual mode: By keying in eg: M28=”Profile/6x4_150.ctlg” P (0 0 0) DZ DIY Creation of CatalogParts: See CatalogParts.
