Sets the options for the SAT files that you select for import.
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. Autodesk Inventor imports all the curves, surfaces, and solids from a SAT file.
| Access: |
|---|

With SAT files selected in the Import Files dialog box, click Options. If you select a folder, on the Input File Name drop-down list, select *.sat, and then click Options |

| Specifies how components are saved. |
|
|
Save Components During Load
|
Not available for importing SAT. |
|
Use Inventor Default Part Names
|
Select to give imported parts Inventor default names instead of using the names specified in the source files. |
|
Entity Types to Import
|
|
|---|
| Select to import the entities: Solids, Surfaces, Wires. |
| Data Organization |
|
|---|
|
Specifies how data is created in the Inventor file.
|
|
Import as an Assembly
|
Select to import as an assembly. |
|
Import Assembly as Single Part
|
Specifies how parts are recreated in the Inventor model. Available only when Import Assembly as a Single Part is selected. - Single Composite Feature Imports all the parts in the source file as part of a single composite feature in the part environment.
- Multiple Solid Part Imports all the parts in the source file as individual solid bodies in the part. Adds to duplicate file names a suffix with a colon and an incremental number, starting with 1, such as :1.
|
|
Group Name to Place Data
|
Specifies a name for the composite group. Available only when Create Surfaces As selection is either Single Composite Feature or Single Construction Group. - Default Applies a default name derived from the type of object followed by an incremental number.
- Previous Manually Entered Names Displays the last manually entered name.
|
|
Create Surfaces As
|
Specifies how the surfaces are imported into the Inventor file - Individual Surface Bodies Each surface is created as a single surface body in the part modeling environment. Each surface body has its own browser node that is a child of the root node.
- Single Composite Feature Each surface is created as a single composite, regardless of what level, layer, or group they originate from. The result is only one composite note that is a child of the root node.
- Single Construction Group Each surface is created as a single group in the construction environment regardless of what level, layer, or group they originate from. The result is one group node that is a child of the construction folder node.

Units
|
|
|---|
| Specifies the units to use for non-native data in the import file. |
|
Import Units
|
Sets the units to use with the parameter values specified in the file. If you select a unit type different from the one specified in the import file, you convert the parameter values in the import file. |
|
Post Processes
|
|
|---|
| Specifies the processes to perform on the files you import: |
|
Check Parts During Load
|
Select to perform a quality check on the imported data. Checks each body within a composite until a bad body is located. The bad body is marked with a white i, and the check stops. |
|
Enable Advance Healing
|
Select to heal the parts after the import process. The geometry is altered slightly so you can stitch the surfaces. |
|
Auto Stitch and Promote
|
Select to stitch surfaces upon import. If stitching results in a solid body, it is promoted to the part environment as a solid body. Available when you select surface data to create as a construction group. |
