Hi everybody,


How can I save the outer surfaces onlyof an assembly, keeping thefile size to a minimum as well ?<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" />

What is the basic reason for Shrink Wrap? Why was it developed? Is clam shell for product packaging an application?

Disable Auto Hole Filling option and set Quality to a higher value, let's say 5 (you should try to create few shrinkwraps with diffewrent quality settings so you'll get appropriate results).

Thanks skraba,


but after getting somehelp from PTC, we concluded that the file size was still as big as a normal step/iges file, so we dropped the case and used this last mentioned for packaging.


Thanks
