diverse shape translation to JT or STP

9 2 Intermediate
Have found a way to import / translate easy shape files like 3ds, wrl, skp, stl, ifc and so on into JT or STP. The shape files can have texture or not. My interest was how to get the shape files with texture translated to JT. For this, I use PCon Planner and save as 3DS. After this, import it into MeshLab (single texture file / no layer) and save it as WRL (VRML 2). This is than easy to import into Teamcenter Livecyle Visualisation (TCVis) and save as JT. If you like to have more imported WRL/JT files into TCvis (JT2Go) please rename the texture or the view results in TCVis (JT2Go) are bad, looks like unplaced textures. If you like to export files with not a texture another way is to use. The fast one with no colours is to save as stl and import it into your volume modeller. The longer way is here to import it into PCon after this save as Skp (Sketchup) and now is to use Automapki (~40 $ or € / year sorry no freeware I have found) and save as STP file. The result you can now import into a volume modeller and use it there or (and) save it as JT and many other files too. Hope you like this tutorial a bit. If you have any questions please let me know.

Finishing strategies machine the actual component form and where applicable, follow on from the Area Clearance operation. Suitable values are required to control the accuracy and amount of excess material to be left on a component by a tool path. The parameters used for this purpose are called Thickness and Tolerance

Raster, Radial, Spiral, and Pattern Finishing. Introduction. This section will cover Finishing strategies created by the downward projection of a Pattern, which include four types, Raster, Radial, Spiral and (user defined) Pattern. PowerMILL generates the toolpaths by projecting a wireframe form down the Z-axis onto the model. The standard patterns applied in Raster, Radial, and Spiral are achieved by entering values directly into the Finishing Form. The resultant Pattern can be displayed by selecting Preview before executing the command by selecting Apply. The Pattern option requires a user-defined geometric form (active Pattern), which is projected down Z onto the model as a tool path.

Don't worry about the orientation just simply rotate it through your mouse. and If you are thinking of wrong axis direction than just follow these steps:-

Z Heights Skim and Plunge distance provide variable control of rapid move heights within a component. These operate in conjunction with Safe Z and Start Z to minimize slow and unnecessary movement of the tool in fresh air while machining the component form. Skim distance – An incremental distance above the model at which rapid moves occur from the end of one tool track to the start of the next. The tool rapids across the model clearing the highest point along its route by the Skim value. Plunge distance – An incremental distance above the local component surface where a downward rapid movement of a tool changes to plunge rate.
