Convert to MM Files

On the Wireframe tab, in the Manage group: Select Manage Wireframes| Convert | Wireframe to Data Files to convert a wireframe to Micromine triangle and point data files.

This option is also available on the File tab, in the Convert group.

Input Wireframe

In the Convert Wireframe form, specify the type and name of the Input wireframe.

Output

Triangles and Points file

Enter, or double-click (F3) to select the names of the Triangles file and the Points file (typically .DAT) to which the wireframe triangle definitions will be written. Each record in the Triangles file represents a triangle by listing the Point IDs (as defined in the Points file) for the three vertices.

Export triangle attributes

Select this check box to write triangle attributes to the Output file.

Export vertex attributes

Select this check box to write per-vertex attributes to the Output file. Per-vertex wireframe attributes may be calculated by other functions, such as Wireframe | Calculations | Compare, or be manually calculated and imported.

Forms

Click the Forms button to select and open a saved form set, or if a form set has been loaded, save the current form set.

By design, the Forms button is not available for loaded Vizex layers (i.e. when opening the form set properties of a layer in the Vizex Layer Display pane). In Vizex, the Forms button is only available for new forms opened via the Home tab or the Vizex tab, in the Layer group (or by double-clicking on a form type node in the Vizex Layer Types pane).

Save and Save As

Click the Save button to save the changes you have made to the form set. Click Save As to save your changes as a new form set. Save As will default to the first available form set number.

Reset

Click Reset to clear the form of all values and reset the form to its default state.

Reset Tab

For tabbed forms, select Reset Tab to clear the active tab of all values and reset the tab to its default state - without making any changes to other tabs in the dialog.

Undo and Redo

Click Undo (CTRL + Z) to undo recent changes in the form. After an Undo, click Redo (CTRL + Y) to restore the last change that was undone.

Collapse

Collapse (roll-up) the form to preview a chart, or preview the results of an operation in Vizex, or obtain input values from Vizex, the Property Window, the File Editor, or the Plot Editor.

Run

Finally, click Run to begin the process.
