Samples

Name Description

Import Manager API Sample

Demonstrates ImportManager for IGES, STEP, SAT, SMT, Fusion archive (F3D), and DXF 2D import, including importToNewDocument, importToTarget, and ImportOptions.isViewFit.

Before running: The sample paths point at neutral-format test files under Core/Neutron/Test/APITest/ (for example APISampleImportNeutralIgs.igs). When you run the script yourself, either place equivalent files at those paths or edit the file paths in the sample. The automation test uses paths relative to the script via TestUtils. Imports create new documents or add to the active design depending on the section you run.
