Re: AutoCad font to TSW

Its probably best that you use a Windows standard font then so it at least translates from the exported file when they open It. I use Calibri font.

Apertures are not separated in analysis they are all processes as one feature. Pocket can be treated different as they are separated in the analysis. If you make a custom process for pocket where it use drill by plunges you can have a custom process that drills then route out the perimeter.

Re: link parameters

Use modify on the sub-assembly and in the dialogue there will be a button add new driving parameter. then either go to parameters with modify or go to the list in the tree and they should be there to merge.
