JT Import Options dialog box

Specifies the import criteria to apply to JT files selected for the import task.

Specifies the data types to import, and how data is grouped in Autodesk Inventor. The file type selected for the task determines the available options.

Access:
	With a JT file selected in the Import Task dialog box, click Options.

Save Options
Specifies how components are saved.
Save Components during Load	Select to save imported components to disk automatically after they are translated. Saves part and assembly files to the paths specified in the destination edit boxes that are in the same grouping. If you save files, existing files with the same names are moved to the Old Versions folder. Note: Save Components during Load minimizes memory consumption by saving each component to disk during the import process. If you import larger assemblies and experience long import times or import failures, use this option to reduce memory requirements. For smaller assemblies, the increased process time required to save each component to disk can offset the benefit of improved memory utilization.
Component Destination Folder	Sets the location for the part and assembly files created from the import operation. If Save in Workspace is selected, this folder is defined in the Edit Projects panel.
Place Top-level Assembly in Separate Folder	Select to save the top-level assembly file to a location different from the part files. If Save in Workspace is selected, this folder is defined in the Edit Projects panel. Note: Specify file destinations that are included in the active project or add the paths to the project to assure that referenced files resolve when you open a file.

Translation Report
Specifies whether to embed the Translation Report or save it to disk.
Embed in Document	Select to display the translation report icon , under the third Party browser node , in your new file. To view the translation report, double-click the report icon, or right-click and select Edit. This option is selected by default.
Save to Disk	Select to save a copy of the report to disk. Under Save Options, if Place Top-level Assembly in Separate Folder is selected, the translation report is stored along with the top-level assembly. Otherwise, the report is stored in the Component Destination Folder.

Entity Types to Import
Select to import the entities: Solids (import solid bodies and water tight stitched shells as individual solid bodies), Surfaces (import surface bodies. Water tight stitched shells are imported as solid bodies.), Meshes, Work Planes, Work Axes, Wires, Work Points, and Points.

Data Organization
Specifies how data is created in the Inventor file.
Import into Repair environment	Select to check the model for errors and create a repair node in the browser. You can edit, diagnose, and repair an imported base body in the Repair environment. A repair body participates in the model history.
Import Assembly as Single Part	Select to import an assembly as a part. Not available if you select Import Multiple Solid Parts as Assembly. Choose from: Single Composite Feature to import the assembly as a single composite feature in the part environment. Multiple Solid Part to import the assembly as individual solid bodies in the part environment. This setting defaults to on and is not selectable when the Import command is used.
Create Surfaces As	Select the surface types to create during the import: Individual Surface Bodies to import each surface as a single surface body in the part environment. Single Composite Feature to import the surfaces as a single composite in the part environment. Single Construction Group to import the surfaces as a single group in the construction environment.
Group Name to Place Data.	Select a Group Name under which to place the imported data. The group name is shown in the browser.
Tessellation Detail	Controls the tessellation of the imported meshes. Select Highest Detail or Lowest Detail.

Units
Specifies the units to use for non-native data in the import file.
Import Units	Converts the imported geometry and parameter values to the selected units.

Post Processes
Specifies the processes to perform on the files you import:
Check Parts During Load	Select to perform a quality check of the solid body imported data. If bad data is found, the body is marked with in the browser and the remaining bodies are not checked. Note: This option is in addition to the automatic check of composites, and it can significantly increase the amount of time required to translate a file.
Auto Stitch and Promote.	When selected, Inventor attempts to stitch surfaces into a quilt or solid. If the surfaces are stitched into a single quilt or body, the resulting quilt or body is promoted to the Part environment. Otherwise, the surfaces remain in the Construction environment.
Enable Advance Healing	Select to perform operations like surface trimming, spline surface reconstruction, and the reintersection of surfaces, on the imported models to make them watertight and usable in Autodesk Inventor. Due to the nature of the healing operation, the process can add computational time to the import process, and alter geometry in the original file slightly.
