To load MI files created with the ME10 system, choose the file format .MI and select the desired file.
As it is important to make sure that the file you want to convert is in ASCII format, it is a good idea to use an Editor to check that it is neither in UNIX binary formatnor that it is compressed.
If the Ml file is compressed, it should be decompressed before conversion. For this purpose, the decompression tool DECOMP.EXE is available in the HiCAD BIN directory.
Please note:
- When importing ME10 files, text blocks will be taken over as HiCAD text blocks. Right-clicking a text block opens a context menu with editing functions for text blocks.
- When importing ME10 files, hatchings are made according to the settings in the SSME10.DAT system file. You can use this file to specify how the hatchings from ME10 are to be treated in HiCAD.
# Show hatching options?
# 0 Hatching
as lines.
# 1 Hatching
as contour hatching (part structure is changed)
Hatching 1 #Contour
hatching
Hatching as lines
The hatchings will be taken over as lines. The hatchings can then no
longer be processed with the HiCAD hatching functions. The part structure
will be retained.
Hatching as contour hatching
The hatchings are taken over as contour hatchings and can be processed
with the HiCAD hatching functions. But the part structure will be changed.
The SSME10.DAT file can be found in the HiCAD SYS-directory.
- ME10 files can also be opened via the HiCAD Start Centre.
