A tutorial for TS7 please ?
Posted: Fri Feb 19, 2010 4:12 pm
Hello fellow TS users,
I have tried a couple times in the past to use TS7 in the same way I currently use TS6.10 but cannot get the results I desire.
I do not have the electrode module so when I design electrodes my procedure (in TS6.10) is like this:
1. Save a parasolid of a particular detail from the mold design (for example a cavity or a core block) then I open that detail in TopSolid Design and save it as something like Core Electrodes.top
2. I design electrodes as needed placing each electrode on a separate layer
3. After electrodes are designed I make *.dft documents for the EDM operator and I export a parasolid file for each electrode which gets exported to Mastercam since I am not using TS CAM yet.
In previous attempts I have been unable to generate the draft document in TS7 and I cannot figure out why...
Could somebody please take a look at the files I have attached and let me know how to make this work with TS7
In my most recent attempt I was not even able to import a parasolid file but maybe that was due to me using a temporary evaluation license. Hopefully my VAR will get an updated code soon.
Any helpful advice or tutorials regarding this procedure will be greatly appreciated.
