Solid Edge Features
Lists the Solid Edge sheet metal features that you can export to the AutoCAD document. The features you can export include:
Up/Down Centerline
The centerline of a face that is bent up or down.
Up/Down Features
Any dimple, louver, drawn cutout, or bead feature found on an up or down face in the sheet metal file.
Outer Loop
The outer most profile in the sheet metal part when viewed from a top view of the flat pattern.
Interior Loop
All closed shapes defined within the outer loop in a sheet metal part except for those that are created by dimples, louvers, cutouts, or bead features.
Complex Holes
Counter bores, counter sinks, tapered, and threaded holes.
When a complex hole is output to a drawing or exported to AutoCAD, it is represented by two circle elements when viewed from a top view.
When you export a complex hole to AutoCAD, the outer loop that represents a thread or counterbore is placed on the complex hole layer. The interior loop of a thread or counterbore is placed on the interior loop collection.
Other
All features that do not belong to the other classifications. For example, with complex holes that consist of multiple circular loops, such as counter bores, the internal circular loop is placed on this layer.
