Sets the options for the import of a SAT file. If an imported SAT file contains an assembly, Autodesk Inventor creates an assembly file and a part file for each part in the SAT assembly.

In the Open, Place Component, or Import dialog boxes:
Note: If you choose to translate a file using the Import command, some import options are not available.

Save Options |
Save Components during Load. Not available. Use Inventor Default Part Names. Select to save imported files using the Inventor default names. 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.

Entity Types to Import |
Solids. Select to import solid bodies and water tight stitched shells as individual solid bodies.
Surfaces. Select to import surface bodies. Water tight stitched shells are imported as solid bodies.
Wires. Select to import wires. |

Data Organization |
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 as a Single Part. Select to import the model as a single part. Choose from:
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. Choose from:
Note: Enable the Construction Environment on the Part tab in the Application Options to make Single Construction Group available.
Group Name to Place Data. Select a Group Name under which to place the imported data. The group name is shown in the browser.
Import as an Assembly. This field is not selectable. If Import as a Single Part is disabled, this option is enabled. Each solid is imported as an individual part in an assembly. |

Units |
Import Units. Converts the imported geometry and parameter values to the selected units. |

Post Processes |
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 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 Advanced Healing. If selected, advanced healing operations like surface trimming, spline surface reconstruction, and the re-intersection of surfaces, are performed 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 slight alterations to geometry in the original file may occur. |
