Templates? Is it possible?

Hi Everyone,

I work with a few orthopedic customers with patient specific geometry. Currently we are programming every part as the CAD files come in. Is there a way to set-up a rough template with the dimension code then enter the points that I want to report on?

Thanks!

What does the customer data look like? Is an XYZ file of points? Does it have IJK vectors?

You can set up a file to be read in to a template program. There are multiple ways, but in general the program can have multiple vector points with variables for the locations and vectors.

If you have parts or features that are identical except for scale it is pretty easy to set up a parametic program that prompts the user for key information distinguishing the parts and feeds that into variables which are used in the features. If you search the forum for "parametric program" you should find a few threads about this.
