X7 verify How to select what to keep after verify

[Cannon]

I want to save my verify result as an stl and the part is in two peaces after verify. How do I select the one that I want to save and get rid of the other? There was a setting for this in previous versions.

Did we lose the "scissors" function to view a cutaway view as well???

Cannon - What you're looking for is the Keep or Remove chips feature:

 

In this example, the middle is the "keeper" and the two on the outside is extraneous, if you click on "Keep" and then click on the keeper, it'll get rid of the two outside ones. If you click on "remove" and then click on any piece, it'll remove that one piece.

 

SKIR68 - If you look to the right of the Keep/Remove chips button, there's a sectional view button that gives you different options.

SKIR68, at the top of the simulator page there are three tabs - File, Home and Verify. The cut away option are in the Verify tab - it's not quite as functional as the previous scissors options at the moment but hopefully it'll do what you need.

 

Cannon, the pick chips option is also in the Verify page that I mentioned above. You can then go to the File page to save your stock as an STL.

Rich, I am having trouble using the cut away option. Could you describe it in a bit more detail? The "hide selected quadrants" feature doesn't seem to do anything.

 

Thanks.

Thanks Rich! I found what i needed in the 3/4 view tab!

Thanks everyone. I will try it out when I have little more time.
