FA Mechanical Parts: Notice of changes due to renewal

  • This page is to inform you of the changes that have been made to FA Mechanical Parts.
  • Please check the changes. We sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Update Notes (2/5 release)

Automatic quotation can now select Processing Method

  • Before 2/5 Update, Processing Method always had to be selected by the user. Now, Automatic Quotation will select the compatible Processing Method. (Note: if both Sheet Metal and CNC Milling are compatible, the Processing Method must be selected by the user.)
  • Note that this setting is only applied when “Prioritize the way that can be automatically quoted” is selected in the user settings.
  • This is the default setting, but you can check the current setting by following the steps below.

Automatic Selection Settings for Machining Method

Please follow the steps below to check whether “Prioritize the way that can be automatically quoted” is selected in the user settings.

When uploading via the blue "New quotation" button, only "File" or "Folder" can be selected (same for the "Or browse to upload" button)

  • Instead of selecting a Processing Method prior to uploading, you can now directly upload your File(s) or Folder without needing to select a Processing Method.The Processing Method is selected according to the user settings.
  • The default setting is “Prioritize the way that can be automatically quoted”, but if it has already been changed to “Prioritize Sheet Metal” or “Prioritize CNC Milling”, the setting will be retained.

Tip

If only CNC Milling or Sheet Metal is used, it is recommended to refer to the “Processing Method Selection” procedure above and select “Prioritize Sheet Metal” or “Prioritize CNC Milling”.

Renewal(July 3)

A function to link hole attributes information from CAD data is added.

  • A new item “Automatic Hole Type Recognition from CAD Hole Attributes” has been added to the Hole Type Recognition Method.
  • Unlike the previous method of automatic recognition of tapped holes from hole diameter, this function detects hole attribute information from CAD modeling data and reflect it to meviy.
  • It enables improved recognition accuracy of tapped holes and automatic recognition of fit tolerances, thereby reducing the time for setting and checking holes on meviy.
  • To use this function, please select “Automatic hole type recognition from CAD hole attributes” in the User Settings and upload the native file created by the CAD software which is eligible.March
