Unfold 展开 Overview Most CAD or Finite Element Analysis programs assume that sheet metal should have constant thickness. 大多数CAD或有限元分析程序是假定金属片是有固定不变的厚度. Almost all FEA programs use the mid face and assign thickness attributes. 差不多所有的FEA程序都是使用中性层并且分配厚度属性. Since 3DQuickPress has to handle all the details of the metal part, 当3DQuickPress掌握金属零件的所有详细资料. we take the top and bottom faces of the metal part model in consideration throughout the design process. 我们在贯穿设计的考虑过程中取走金属零件模型的上下底面. All the recognized features can be switched to different states simply by using the shortcut menu (RMB). 所有经过认证的特征都能简单的使用快捷菜单转换为不同的情 况。

3DQuickPress can handle native SolidWorks® sheet metal parts or an imported sheet metal part. An ideal sheet metal part should have constant thickness. 3DQuickPress is able to extract certain sheet metal features automatically. 3DQuickPress能够操控本地的SolidWorks®金属片零件或一个导入的金属片零件。一个 理想的金属零件是等厚的。3DQuickPress能够自动地解析一些金属特征。

Data

clean

up 数据清理

Sometimes the tolerance inside the solid body is not perfect,especially for imported data.If the user starts to unfold a metal part and the Unfold tree is not show up properly the user must find out where the geometry error is located by using the functions provided by SolidWorks. 有时实体内部的公差不完善，特别是输入的数据。如果用户开始展开一个金属零件而展开树显 示不正确则用户必须使用SolidWorks提供的功能去发现几何体的错误之处。

SolidWorks® functions to heal imported data: SW function: Import Diagnosis 输入分析

Check Model Geometry

SolidWorks®修复输入数据的功能

Usage: Face diagnosis can convert faces back to cylindrical faces or planar faces.This feature is activated by right-clicking the imported body feature from SW feature manager,and select Diagnosis.You must select each face independently to fix. 面分析能将面转变到圆柱面或平面。这个特征是从 SW 特证 管理器右击输入物体特征并选择分析来激活的。你必须选择 每一个独立的面去修理。 To understand if a cylindrical face is in its simplest mathematical state you should View | Temporary Axis with SolidWorks. If you see an axis the face is in the proper state.If not, select the face and pick Fix Face while in Diagnosis. Note: If you do this twice to the same face it will revert to the non- analytical state which is not desirable. 要明白一个圆柱形面是否在它最简单的数学状态您应该用 SolidWorks 的 View | Temporary Axis（观看 | 临时轴）。如 果您看见轴则面处在适当的状态。否则，选择面并在分析时 拣选修理面。 注意：如果你对同一个面作了两次操作它将 回复到不理想的未分析状态。 Another option is to File|Save As a STEP file and File|Open the STEP file in a new document. This loop test approach will sometimes automatically simplify the faces. 另一个选项是在一个新的文档中点选 File|Save As a STEP file 和 File|Open the STEP file。这种循环操作方法有时自动 地将简化面。 Check invalid geometry,minimum radius, gaps, bad faces, etc. 检查无效几何体，最小圆弧，缺口，坏面等。

User Assist Recognition

(UAR)

用户协助识别

All metal stamping starts from a flat pattern, progressive die design cannot be started without it. However, lots of Sheet metal parts have erratic or complex forming features, which cannot be covered by the program. User Assist Recognition is used to handle all those features manually by categorizing the region into a UAR Form, Gusset or User Defined Feature. 所有金属特征都是从一个平板开始，没有它级进模设计不能开始。然而，许多薄板金属零 件具有程序不可能包括的不规则或复杂的形状特征。用户协助识别是用来处理那些被手动 分配到 UAR 形状，加强筋或用户定义的特征范围内的所有这些特征。

● UAR Form smashes all selected faces into a planar face. The calculation is simply a projection. UAR形式破坏所有选择的面成一个平面。 演算是简单地投影。

Figure 8 UAR Form can handle Region B. Region A has a non-planar adjacent face which can not be handled by UAR Form. 图8 UAR形状能处理B处。A处有一个不能被UAR形状处理的无平面相邻的面。

13

● Gusset can be converted with three options: During bending, before bending, and after bending. 加强筋能有三种选择来转换：弯曲时，弯曲前和弯曲后。

Figure 9 Left is a gusset, which is formed before bending. The upper is a gusset which is formed after bending. 图9 左边是加强筋弯曲前的形状。上面是加强筋弯曲后的形状。

14

● User Defined Feature is a generic tool to handle free form features not adjacent to a planar face. 用户定义特征是一个简单用来处理没有邻近到一个平面的自由形状体征的工具。 Blank State

Fully Folded State 完全弯曲状态

Bend allowance 弯曲补偿量 You can choose either bend allowance or K-factor calculations to determine the flat length of sheet stock to give the desired dimension of the bent part. 3DQuickPress has a database to store the bend allowance. The key to searching the database for a matching bend allowance is: 您能选择弯曲补偿量或 K 因子中的一种方式来计算确定给定要求尺寸的弯曲零件的原材 料的展开尺寸。3DquickPress 有一个数据库是用来贮存弯曲补偿量的。在数据库中查找 机器的弯曲补偿量的关键是： Material + Thickness + Internal Bend Radius + Bend Angle 材质 ＋ 厚度 ＋ 弯曲内圆半径 ＋ 弯曲角度 If we cannot find the bend allowance based on above search criteria, the software interpolates the values to calculate the bend allowance based on the thickness of the part or bend angle falling between values in the table. 如果我们不能从查寻标准上找到弯曲补偿量基准，软件在表中数据之间插入数值通过 零件厚度或弯曲角度计算弯曲补偿量基准。 The following equation is used to determine the total flat length when bend allowance values are used: 当弯曲补偿量使用时，以下等式用于确定总展开长度值：

Lt = A + B + BA where: 式中：

15

Lt is the total flat length Lt是总展开尺寸 A and B are shown in the illustration A和B如图所示

BA is the bend allowance value

BA是弯曲补偿量

K-Factor is a ratio that represents the location of the neutral sheet with respect to the thickness of the sheet metal part. Bend allowance with a K-Factor is calculated as follows: K因子是代表材料中性层(相对于零件材料厚度而言)位置所定义的零件常数。用K因子来 计算弯曲补偿量的公式如下：

BA =Л（R+KT）A/180 where: 式中：

BA = bend allowance BA= 弯曲补偿量 R = inside bend radius R＝ 内侧弯曲半径 K = K-Factor, which is t / T K=K因子，即t / T T = material thickness T= 材料厚度 t = distance from inside face to neutral sheet t =内侧到中性层的距离 A = bend angle in degrees (the angle through which the material is bent) A = 弯曲角度（通过弯曲材料的角度） Alternate Work Flow(Insert Part)

工作流程（插入零件）

We have a standard work flow in 3DQuickPress. Instead of relying on 3DQuickPress-Unfold to extract metal features and create the blank, we can use a simple blank as the input for the strip layout design and model the intermediate steps manually. We need to use this alternate work flow when we encounter the following situations in the unfold process: 在3DquickPress中我们有一个标准工作流程。而不是依靠3DQuickPress展开提取金属 特点和制造原料，我们可以使用简单的原料作为为排样设计的输入，并且手动塑造中间 步骤。当我们在展开过程中时，遇到以下情况我们需要使用这个供选择工作流程：

● Imported data cannot be converted to solid 输入不能转换到实体的数据 ■

For simple part, we suggest user to re-model it. It is not justified to re-model a very complex part. 对于简单的零件，我们建议用户重建它。我们不可能重建一个很复杂的零 件。 16

● Very complex part ■

很复杂的零件

Complex parts rely on very experienced Designers to use User Defined Features to handle the unfolding. This method is straight forward. 复杂零件依靠非常老练的设计师使用用户定义的特征处理展开。 这个 方法是直接向前的

An Example of alternate work flow (Insert Part)

A very simple part representing the Blank is used in unfolding. The blank is a result from a FEA program or working it out manually. 相当于原料的一个非常 简单的零件用来展开。 原料是从FEA程序或手 工加工得出的结果。

An intermediate step is created in another SolidWorks® part document.

中间步骤在另一个 SolidWorks®零件文档中创 建。

17

Fixing unfold problems 修理展开问题 If you are not able to create a blank from the part, you cannot move to next design stage – strip layout design. The easiest way to check unfold problems is by using Unfold All. Then figure out the reason for the unfold failure and finally fix it by UAR functions. The following table shows a typical procedure to unfold a part. Unfold -- Check–Set Top & Bottom Faces–Check–UAR–Check–UAR–Check…; 如果你不能从零件做出胚料，你不能进行下一设计内容－料带设计。最简单的方法是展 开全部来检查展开问题。然后判断出展开失败的原因并用UAR功能完全修正之。下表显 示了展开一个零件的典型过程。展开-检查-设置顶和底面-检查-UAR-检查-UAR-检查… Part to be unfolded 零件展开

Unfold the part to create the unfold tree. 展开零件创建展开树 Check the Unfold Tree and locate all the Unknown and Invalid features. 检查展开树并找出不明的和 有问题的特征。 Go to User Assist Recognition and properly set Top and Bottom faces. 进入UAR并正确地设定顶 和底面

UAR - Use User Defined Feature to fix the Invalid Compound Form. UAR–使用用户定义特征 来修复有问题的混合形状

18

Use Unfold All and change to the side view. It is easily to find regions, which are difficult to unfold. Successful unfold will display 2 parallel lines only. 使用展开全部并且转成侧视 图。这样容易发现难展开的 位置。 成功的展开将仅仅显示两条 平行线。 Use UAR Form to fix all Vgrooves.

使用URA形式去修复所有V 形槽。

Use Unfold All and change to side view. OK if only 2 parallel lines are shown. 使用展开全部并且转成侧视 图。如果仅仅显示两条平行 线那就是OK了。

Strip Layout 料带 Overview 概述 Strip Layout Design Tree is the key feature of 3DQuickPress. We can manipulate the process simply by dragging and dropping or selecting the commands from short cut menu(RMB). The strip layout in the graphic area is a virtual strip layout for visualization and selection purposes only. The reason for this is that our goal is to provide a progressive die design solution which assists die designers to design the stamping process rather than to assist them to do modeling. The instant feedback is a key benefit to the designer! 料带设计树是3DquickPress的关键特征。我们能够通过简单的拖拽和点击或从快捷菜单选 择命令来执行过程。显示区域的料带仅仅是一个为了可见和可选择为目的的虚拟料带。 个中原由是我们的目标是提供一种协助模具设计师设计特征过程而不是协助他们制作模 具的级进模具设计解决方案。对设计者来说快速回应是相当有好处的。

Figure 10 Drag & Drop to allocate features to the stations in Strip Layout Design Tree. 图 10 拖拽或点击来分配特征到料带设计树中的工位中

Setup Station Layout 设置工位 3DQuickPress has its own constrain engine to handle the station layout. For one out die, horizontal and vertical relations can be added to the selected line segments. 3DquickPress有自己的一种处理工位的约束方案。对于一出一的模具，水 平和竖直关系可加到选择的直边上。

F i g u r e 1 1 T h i s Figure 11 This example shows how an inclined line is horizontally aligned. 图 11 这个例子显示了如何使一条斜线变成水平线。

For 2 out die or more, parallel; perpendicular; distance relationships can be added to the selected elements. 对于一出二或更多的模具，平行; 垂直; 距离关系可以添加到选择的元素

Edit Strip Parameters

编辑条料参数

The Edit Strip Parameter Properties Manager is like a calculator to iterate the best strip layout parameters. It provides optimization functions to let you fix the dimensions of the strip layout and provides feedback for the material utilization. 编辑条料参数特性管理器就像重复最佳料带参数的计算器。它提供了让你修正料带尺 寸的优化功能并为材料利用率提供了反馈。

Figure 13 Parameters define a strip layout. 图 13 参数定义一个料带。

Figure 14 Optimization tools can easily set the distance between stock and part margin Was well as minimum distance C between parts. 图 14 优化工具能很容易的设置两个物体间的距离并且零件边缘是两者之间最短距 离的最好结果。

Design Change

设计改变

After the strip layout is defined, 3DQuickPress allows the following changes during strip layout design: 料带定以后，3DquickPress在料带设计过程中允许以下变动：

● Progression 工位步数 ● Stock Width

料宽

22

● Remove and insert stations

移动和插入工位

● Modifying the station metal features ● Process / Un-process features

修改工位金属特征 处理/不处理特征

These capabilities let users evaluate the processes to iterate the best scenario for the strip layout design. Although 3DQuickPress is designed for progressive die design, single operation dies can also be designed by turning off the stock and treating each station as the individual die set. 这些能力让用户不断为料带设计寻找最佳设计评估出方案。尽管3DquickPress 是为级进模设计的，单冲模也能通过关闭材料并象单一模架一样对待每一 步来设计。

Some of the native sheet metal feature may need to be separated into multiple stages due to physical conditions. Bends and Cutting operation can be split up. 一些自然的金属特征也许由于物理条件需要被分离到多个阶段。折弯和 切口操作可以被分离。

Figure 15 A hole is pierced by 2 operations instead of 1 due to the weakness of the middle groove. This can be done by using Split Punch. 图 15由于中间凹槽的单薄所以一个孔由两步操作冲穿而不是 一步。这可以用分开的凸模来完成。

Figure 16 Right angle bend is split into 2 operations by using Create Split Bend. 图 16 右边的角度弯曲使用两步操作创建分步弯曲。

23

Create eDrawings

创建eDrawings

The data in 3DQuickPress strip layout is not SolidWorks® Geometry, Export strip layout and Punch is the function to convert 3DQuickPress data to SolidWorks® data so eDrawings can be created. 3DquickPress料带的数据不是SolidWorks®的几何体。输出料带和凸模是 转换3DquickPress数据到SolidWorks®数据的功能，因此eDrawings能 创建。

Interface with FEA program 用FEA程序来衔接 For complex parts, we suggest the user to use a FEA program to work out the blank and intermediate steps. 3DQuickPress Insert Part and XForm Part are useful to handle complex parts by using the alternate workflow as mentioned in Chapter 2 Unfold. 对 于 复 杂 零 件 ， 我 们 建 议 用 户 用 FEA 程 序 制 作 毛 胚 料 和 中 间 步 骤。 3DquickPress插入零件和X-Form零件对于通过使用供选择工作流程（如 第二章提到的展开）来处理复杂零件是有作用的。

Design of Transfer Dies

单工位连续冲模设计

3DQuickPress uses the progressive die design workflow for transfer dies. As 1st transfer die will blank off the part and the blank will be transformed when it is transferred from one die to another. 3DQuickPress X-Form Part function is able to translate or rotate the part. 3DquickPress为单工位连续冲模使用连续模设计流程。第一步单工位模 将落下零件的毛胚料，并且当毛胚料从一个模具转到另一个模具是将进行 变形。3DQuickPress X-Form零件功能是能够移动或旋转零件的。

Punch Design 凸模设计 Overview 概述 Strip layout is only used to design the process and the output is only for collaboration. However, modeling of punches and die inserts are the final most useful output. 3DQuickPress produces cutting punches based on the virtual strip layout. Other tooling components for bending and forming are difficult to automatically create while fulfilling every users’ requirement. The role of 3DQuickPress punch design is to provide a communication between 3DQuickPress virtual strip layout and SolidWorks® by using Production Ready Library items. 料带只是用于设计过程，并且产品仅仅为了交流。可是凸模的造型和模具 插入对零件有很多用处。3DquickPress在虚拟料带基础上产生冲头。在 满足每一位用户要求的同时，象弯曲和成型等其他零件要自动做成就有困 难了。3DquickPress凸模设计就是用产品预备库项目在3DquickPress料 带和SolidWorks®之间提供一个联络。

The die set structure, also reference to as the DSS, controls the dimension and the spatial position of all the components.3DquickPress uses a SolidWorks® part document DieSetStructure.sldprt to represent the die set structure. This part will be copied and renamed to “DSS (project name)(project number).sldprt” upon creating the punch design assembly. The original location this is copied from depends on the die set library you select upon starting Punch Design. 模架构造简称DSS,控制着所有部件的尺寸和空间位置。3DquickPress用 SolidWorks®的一个零件文档DieSetStructure.sldprt来表示模架构造。 当创建凸模装配设计是这个零件将被复制和重命名为“DSS (project 。 name)(project number).sldprt”。当凸模设计开始时，其被复制原点位 置是依据你选择的模架库中决定的。

Once the die set structure is defined, a new SolidWorks® assembly document is created and the punch design environment is ready to use. 从模架结构决定后，一个新的SolidWorks®装配文档就建立了，并且凸模设计环境已经可已 准备使用。

Figure 18 Punch Design environment is in assembly context

图 18 凸模设计环境是在装配环境中。

All components created by 3DQuickPress are fixed and associated to the strip layout. Any change in the strip layout will update the punches. So, never use SolidWorks® functions to re-locate the component unless you are intentionally doing for certain purposes like a shift of a bend line. Holes bodies are also attached to the components to make design more straightforward. 所有3DQuickPress 创建的结构可以结合和关联在料带里。料带的所有改变都会使凸模更 新。所以，不要再用 SolidWorks® 的功能去重新构造结构，除非你有意的为象弯曲线的变 动这样的确定目的去做。孔实体也被附加到结构中使设计更明确。 26

Production Ready Library(PRL) 产 品 预 备 库 Production Ready Library allows the user to customize the punch & die according to user preferences. It eliminates the need to edit the automatically created generic component by 3DQuickPress (version1). This also makes the associativity between die set and component much better. Tool Sets supported by this includes: 产品预备库允许用户按自己的偏好定义凸模和凹模。这就消除了编辑用 3DQuickPress (version1)自动创建的普通机构的必要。这也使模架和部品之 间结合得更好。对工具设置的支持也包括在内。

Create hole

创建孔

At the beginning the die set assembly is created, all the plates are plain. 3DQuickPress will automate the creation of hole by automating the selection and use SolidWorks® Cavity to subtract the plates. For standard components, holes are created by revolving or extruding. Recess can be designed in punch design assembly. 在模架装配开始创建时，所有的板都是平板。3DQuickPress会通过自动选择来自动地进 行孔的创建，并用SolidWorks®孔功能去在板上除料。对于标准部件，其孔会被旋转或挤 压出来。在凸模装配设计中能把间隙设计出来。

Hole clearance

孔间隙

When creating holes for the plates, fitting clearance can be created as with an additional solid per plate. Variables for the clearance can be set as C1-C6 as sketch dimension names. The user can specify clearances by using 3DquickPress |Die Set Structure| Component Hole Clearance. . 在板上创建孔时，可以通过在每块板加一个附加实体来创建合适的间隙。不确定的间隙 值 可 定 义 成 象 草 图 尺 寸 名 称 的 C1-C6. 用 户 可 用 3DquickPress |Die Set Structure| Component Hole Clearance功能来列出间隙值的清单。

Figure 23 Left – SC and LC are small and large clearances which can be created by the Hole Bodies. Middle – Cutting punch P and Holes Bodies in part document. Others are Hole Bodies which are created by offsetting the punch cutting profile and cut. On the Right – Holes are created by cavity. 图 23 左-SC和LC是能够通过孔实体创建的小和大间隙。中间-零件文档中的冲裁凸模P和孔实体。另外还有通过平移凸模断面并切除而创 建的孔实体。右边的孔是掏空创建的。

Standard component

标准零件

3DQuickPress provides 2 catalogs for english and metric units from Danly and Misumi.. Other catalogs can be derived from the existing 2 catalogs manually. 3DQuickPress从Danly and Misumi公司提供英制和公制两种目录。其他目录可从这两个目 录中手动导出。

Figure 24 Standard components can be driven by a SolidWorks Design Table and must contain a Sketch and reference axis namely Hole and ComponentDatumAxis respectively. 图 24 标准零件能被一个SolidWorks设计表导出并且必须分别包含一个草图和孔命名的参考轴以及零件基准轴。

Die set drawing 模架绘图 The new die set assembly subdivide the die set into 3 sub-assemblies which allows user to create drawing view with different state 新的模架组合拆分模架为3个子部分，它们可允许用户创建具有不同状态的视图。

Close state is the default configuration 闭合状态是缺省的配置。

Open state can be easily created by setting the explode view properly 通过设置合适的爆炸视图很容易创建开模状态。

Open Book state is simply done by inserting the individual UD, MD, LD die set into drawing and no need to have a configuration inside the die set assembly. Open Book 状态通过将单独的UD,MD,LD模架插入到图中来简单的做到。而不需要有一 个配置在模架组装中。

草图工具

草绘工具

3DQuickPress Sketch Tools are used to do final touch up of die plates and eases the creations of small details. As the die plates are only 2 1/2D models, a set of 2D tools is the most efficient way to design details like openings, die inserts and corner clearances. 3DQuickPress草绘工具用来完成凹模板上的最终细节，并易于小的详细图的创建。对于 模板仅仅是2.5D模式，一套2D工具是设计象避位，入子和清角的细节的较有效的方法。

Figure 25 Bounding box and circle are created in sketch and Extrude Cut the lower die set to create a bigger opening for scrap clearance. 图 25 方的和圆的界限是用草绘做的，并且剪切下模座为清除废料创建一个大的避位。

3DQuickPress for 2D users 3DQuickPress 2D用户界面 Background 基本情况 2D and 3D approaches in progressive die design are two extremes. 2D design aims at producing part drawing for manufacturing and assembly drawing to let craftsman understand the design. They have dozens of utilities to deal with blocks, layers, auto-dimensioning, wire frame editing, etc. 在级进模设计中的2D和3D观点是两个极端。2D设计注重为制造绘制零件 图，并且装配图能让工人理解设计意图。他们有许多有效方法用图块，图 层，自动标注，线框编辑等去处理。

3D design is straightforward since the design is in 3D solid which is a very clear presentation of the parts. When parts are put together they become an assembly. The whole picture of the design is easy to understand since it is a digital virtual prototype. 从在具有零件的表示非常明确的3D实体中设计时，3D设计变得非常易 懂。当零件放在一起时变成装配体。从它成为一个数字虚拟模型时设计的 全部图片就非常容易明白了。

Layers

图层

2D users use layers to manage the die set structure. In the 3D design environment, we use parts and assemblies which is emulates the real world. 2D用户使用图层来管理模具结构。在3D设计环境中，我们用仿真的零件和装 配。

38

Figure 32 A 3D die set assembly has the whole picture of the die set in 3D. By selecting the component from the graphic view, a component can be opened. 图 32 在3D中3D模具装配具有模具的全部图形。通过从视图中选一个部件，其能够打开。

Blocks

图块

Blocks are used in 2D for standard components and to group entities together. A typical block in 2D contains all information related to the components with attributes. If blocks are used properly, it will automate a lot of detailing tasks like hole tables and BOMs. 在2D中图块对标准零件和实体组群到一起时有用。2D中的典型图块包含所有关于带属 性零件的信息。如适当使用图块，会使许多象孔列表和零件表一样的细节任务自动化。

SolidWorks® only uses blocks in drawing mode so that SolidWorks® drawing is compatible with imported dwg. Another use of blocks that is similar to a 2D system is to provide an easier way to insert annotations, tables and title blocks. Instead of assigning attributes in Blocks, the file properties in part document allow users to input attribute which can be displayed automatically in title block, annotations and BOM. SolidWorks® 仅在绘图模式中用图块，所有图形与输入的dwg相兼容。图块另一用途相似 于在2D系统中提供一个插入注解，列表和标题块的简单方法。而不是在图块中分配属性，在 零件文档中的文件属性允许用户输入能在标题块，注解和零件表中自动显示的属性。

Assigning attributes to a part/block is to automate documentation afterward. 以后文档将自动分配属性到零件和图块。 39

Assembly drawings

装配图

Assembly drawings in 2D are manual tasks and take a long time to prepare. A bottom up approach is used in 2D. Part drawings are created first and then the 2D views are grouped by blocks and inserted to the assembly drawing which can vary in accuracy and difficult to expl ore. 2D中的装配图是手工作业并要准备很长时间。2D中使用逐步的方法。先创建零件图，然后用 图块组合2D视图并插入到能够正确改变又不易测定的装配图中。

40

Assembly drawing in 3D is an output from the 3D assembly—its simple. The purpose of an assembly drawing is for BOM and assembly instruction to let shop floor people know how the components are put together. If we design in 2D, it is quite impossible to automatically create isometric views for a die set. Section views are also time-consuming to construct. In SolidWorks, we can create eDrawings which is much easier to understand. EDrawings also provide tools to measure, markup and section. eDrawings 2005 is also able to run avi data from SolidWorks® Animator. 3D装配图从3D装配体输出，很简单。装配图的意义是为了通过零件表和装配结构让工厂人员 知道零件是如何组合到一起得。如果我们在2D环境中设计，为模具自动创建等轴视图是完全做 不到的。剖面图也要费时的创建。在SolidWorks中，我们能够创建很容易理解的eDrawings。 eDrawings还有测量，标记和剖切工具。eDrawings2005还能够从SolidWorks动画中运行avi数 据。

BOMs

零件表

Bill of Material in 2D is created manually if no customization is done. BOM creation can be automated by extracting block or layer information. In any case, it is very difficult to create an accurate BOM in 2D. To create BOM automatically, programming or significant detail preparation is required. 如果没有定制，2D中的材质表单要手动创建。零件表的创建可通过提取图块和图层信息来自动 化。在很多情况中，2D环境下创建一个精确的零件表非常困难。要自动创建零件表，规划或有 效的细节准备是有必要的。

In a 3D CAD system, since the assembly is already well defined, the BOM creation is automatic. Customization is also possible by adding items to file properties of the part documents. Changes to parts and assemblies are also maintained in the BOMs. 在3D CAD系统中，从装配体已经很好的定义开始，零件表的创建是自动地。通过添加项目到 零件文档中的文件特性中来定义也是可行的。改变零件和装配体也能在零件表中保持一致。

Hole charts

孔列表

Hole chartss are automatically created in 2D system by extracting information from blocks. SolidWorks® extracts hole information directly from solid model and create the hole table automatically without programming. 在2D系统中孔列表通过提取图块中信息自动创建。SolidWorks® 直接从实体模型中提 取孔信息，并且不需规划就可自动创建孔列表。 41

Title blocks

标题图块

2D uses blocks and attributes as title block info while SolidWorks® links annotations with file properties and part properties. 2D使用图块和属性定义标题图块信息而SolidWorks® 是通过文件属性和零件属性链 接注解。

Conclusion

结束语

Time spent in modeling is the only obstacle for 2D users to migrate to 3D; primarily are a beginner. Mastering part modeling is the key to success for the migration. Surfacing is also important as parts today are complicated.
