Importing a JT File

The JT file format is a relatively light-weight file format capable of containing large assemblies of parts with faceted data, lighting, textures, curves and surfaces; product and manufacturing information (GD&T callouts); and other information. It is useful for visualization and collaboration.

To import a JT file:

1. Open the measurement routine in PC-DMIS into which you are going to import the JT file.

2. Select the File | Import | JT menu option to show an Import dialog box.

3. Use the Import dialog box and navigate to the folder that contains the file to import. Then select the file.

4. Click the Import button. PC-DMIS imports the CAD data from the JT file.

5. If your model contains embedded GD&T callouts, PC-DMIS asks if you want to create Edit window commands from the GD&T callouts:

   • If you click Yes, the importer also imports and converts the GD&T callouts into GD&T and other Edit window commands.

   • If you click No, the importer does not convert the GD&T callouts. (You can always use the Operation | Graphic Display Window | Select GD&T menu item to convert all the CAD GD&T callouts later; or for specific callouts, you can box-select or click on them. For additional information on CAD GD&T callouts, see "Working with CAD GD&T Callouts".)
