| Import from Library |
Opens the File Open dialog from where you can select a DGNLib file and import 3D printer profiles into the active file. |
| Update from Library |
Updates the selected 3D printer profile that is based on library 3D printer profile to reflect the changes in the DGN library. |
| Printer Profile list box |
Displays the local and library 3D printer profiles.
|
An unfilled icon identifies a library 3D printer profile. |
|
A filled book icon identifies a local 3D printer profile. |
|
A book with delta symbol identifies each local 3D printer profile that is different from the library 3D printer profile. |
|
A book with a check mark icon identifies each local 3D printer profile that matches the library 3D printer profile. |
|
| Print Volume |
Allows you to set the print volume of the 3D printer. You can enter X, Y, and Z values in mm, in the respective fields. The maximum printable volume is based on the build volume of the 3D printer itself. For build volume information, refer to your 3D printer's documentation. |
| Volume Origin |
Sets the location where the coordinate 0,0,0 is within the 3D printer volume. The exported file references that point as the origin. |
| Printer Materials |
You can add different printer materials to your printer profile. Following are the settings for printer material.
