Output for Plate Parts from Generic Files

The module creates or updates Plate Parts on SB_PLDB from Generic Files. The format of these files is described in Generic Data for 2-Axis and 3-Axis Post-Processing. If the keyword TYPE_OF_GENERIC_FILE = PLATE_PART_UPDATE, the plate part is updated with the data in the GENERAL_DATA and PART_DATA blocks. Otherwise a plate part is created with the information in the whole generic file.

Updating parts with administrative data is a fast way to change that means, the quality. Changing the bevel and creating a new part can however give a resulting geometry which is different from what you get when the part is created with ppanparts. The program only changes the bevel code and not the geometry.

Note: It is not recommended that parts with CVBA should be created with this program.
