Importing a Geometry Model from an External System

Geometry models of parts and workpieces can be imported directly from a PLM system using the Import button in the main window toolbar.
This button includes a small arrow that opens a drop-down menu with additional import options:

  • Import model from PLM

  • Import workpiece from PLM

Each option includes a submenu where you can select a configured PLM connection.

Note: The PLM-related options appears only if at least one PLM connection is configured.
