How to Exclude Model Structure when Saving a File in UG 6.0

In the mold base industry, it is often necessary to save files without including the model structure. This can be challenging, especially when using advanced software like Unigraphics (UG) 6.0. In this article, we will discuss the steps to exclude model structure when saving a file in UG 6.0, ensuring a streamlined and efficient workflow.

Step 1: Open the Model

Start by opening the model file in UG 6.0. Ensure that all necessary changes and modifications have been made before proceeding to the next step.

Step 2: Hide the Model Structure

To exclude the model structure when saving the file, it is essential to hide it first. This step ensures that only the desired components will be saved, making the file more manageable and easier to work with.

To hide the model structure, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the "View" menu at the top of the screen.
  2. Select "Hide" from the drop-down menu.
  3. A list of available components will appear.
  4. Select the model structure component(s) that you want to exclude from the saved file.
  5. Click "OK" to confirm the selection and hide the component(s).

Step 3: Save the File

Once the model structure has been hidden, you can proceed to save the file without including it. To save the file, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the "File" menu at the top of the screen.
  2. Select "Save" from the drop-down menu.
  3. A window will appear, allowing you to choose the save location and file name.
  4. Specify the desired save location and enter a file name.
  5. Click "Save" to save the file.

Step 4: Verify the Saved File

After saving the file, it is crucial to verify that the model structure has been successfully excluded. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Open the saved file in UG 6.0.
  2. Inspect the model to ensure that the model structure component(s) that were previously hidden are not visible.
  3. If the model structure is still visible, repeat steps 2 and 3 to hide and save the file again.

By following these steps, you can effectively exclude the model structure when saving a file in UG 6.0 for the mold base industry. This process helps streamline the workflow by reducing file size and complexity, making it easier to work with the saved file.
