The DSTV Assistant is integrated into SOLIDWORKS and can be used by any user with basic SOLIDWORKS knowledge. During development, special emphasis was placed on implementing as many functions as possible in the familiar SOLIDWORKS environment and in uniform Property Manager Pages (PMP).If NC data is to be generated from a 3D solid body, the DSTV Assistant analyzes the component and determines the profile type or sheet orientation as well as all processing such as holes, cutouts, chamfers and many more. Thanks to the intelligent functions, the NC data in DSTV format can be generated very quickly and automatically. However, if, for example, the profile type is not known or the sheet metal alignment is not clear, manual entries by the user may be necessary. Here, too, the DSTV Assistant provides you with the best possible support with clearly structured queries for the missing information.In summary, the DSTV Assistant is the perfect addition for all users who work with structural steel components in SOLIDWORKS and offers automatic functions for exporting NC data in DSTV directly from SOLIDWORKS. The source of the data is almost irrelevant as long as SOLIDWORKS can import the data and the volumes are clearly defined.
