CHS Drawing is Not shown properly

[Mitch_Burchett]

Hi all.  I am trying to produce and NC1 file, of a CHS, complete with end cuts and holes mid length.  All I can manage is a mitred end as the only option to change the CHS profile.  Is there a DSTV setting(s) to produce a true 3D CHS NC1 file, complete with cuts, holes etc.?  I am using AS 2019 and would be grateful for any advise.  Cheers, Mitch.

Try this, this changes the nc from saw to flat pattern:

Also to get nc1 you just need to adjust the file extension under management tools defaults .

Hi John. Thanks for that, however it was that FAQ that lead me here. The example depicts a 3D pipe with holes, a mitre and a cut. I have replicated the scenerio but cannot get the same 3D depiction. Our client wants to see an NC1 file containing a 3D CHS as a pipe with features, not unwrapped (which works nicely BTW). AS seems too complex not to be able to do this, so I feel I may have missed a setting somewhere to turn on/off show features (maybe)?

Not sure that NC1 file is designed to do that, it is just a text format.

Suggest an sat file. This is via a bolt on.

Also seen export via ifc to nc processing software.
