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.
Renewal (Feb. 5th)

The processing method is automatically selected when the part is available for automatic quotation.

  • Before the update, the processing method always had to be selected by the user. Now it is automatically selected when the part is available for automatic quotation. (Note: if both sheet metal and machined plate are compatible, the processing method must be selected by the user).
  • Note that this setting is only applied when “Suitable for automatic quotation” is selected in the user settings.
  • This is the default setting, but you can check the current setting by following the steps below.

Settings for Automatic Selection

How to check whether “Suitable for automatic quotation” is selected in the user settings.

When uploading via the blue "New quotation" button, only "File" or "Folder" can be selected.

The default setting is “Suitable for automatic quotation”. If you have already selected “Prioritize Sheet Metal” or “Prioritize Machined Plate”, the setting will be retained.

Tip

If you use only machined or sheet metal parts, it is recommended to select “Prioritize sheet metal part” or “Prioritize machined part” in the user settings when selecting the process method.
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.
