Adds geometry to a designed equipment object that was modeled with solid modeling software and saved to a VUE, SAT, or MicroStation DGN file format to an equipment or equipment component object. The Place Imported Shape from File command uses the equipment or equipment component object selected in the Workspace Explorer hierarchy. If no equipment or equipment component object is selected prior to selecting the command, you are prompted to select an equipment or equipment component object.

The software supports importing .dgn and .sat files up to 50MB, and .vue files up to 25MB.

The command creates an Imported Shape object with the defined properties and a local coordinate system. The imported shape coordinate system is defined by the VUE, SAT, or MicroStation file.

  • Because the new imported shape does not retain a connection to the original SAT file, the software does not recompute the shape's geometry if the SAT file is modified.

  • The software uses the original SAT file location when it creates another occurrence from an imported shape (for example, when copying and pasting a parent equipment object).

If the SAT file for the imported shape is modified or is no longer available, the software generates a To Do List entry.

After importing a shape, you can use the Place Nozzle Command to complete the equipment definition.

You can also Edit shape properties.

The Place Imported Shape from File command supports SAT files of ACIS R22 and earlier.
