Now I have a real problem to solve: there are some surfaces in moi 3d that need to be g1, I often rely on the command SiemensUG, I use step format conversion between the two software, now I specify a shortcut key U in moi, the command: script:moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs('e:\\test.step'); This will do the step file export quickly, there should be a way to set a shortcut key to make moi quickly import step, but I don't know what the command is? Dear Michael and forum leaders, please ask me what I need to do to achieve my needs.

Hi c3g, you can set up a shortcut key that loads a specific file like this:

script:moi.geometryDatabase.open('e:\\test.step');

That will do the same as using File > Open, and it will show the "Save changes?" dialog if you have any unsaved changes. You can prevent that "Save changes?" dialog from showing by passing in an additional optional parameter like this:

script:moi.geometryDatabase.open('e:\\test.step', false);

If you want to add the contents of the file to the current model while keeping existing objects in place, (doing the same as File > Import instead of File > Open) use this instead:

script:moi.geometryDatabase.fileImport('e:\\test.step');

Hope that helps!

Hi, Michael.

Thank you very much for your answer, I have successfully solved this problem. But I also want to add ICONS to the command bar to DIY my moi 3d, which I think is very cool and practical. I'm going to add 2 ICONS here for import and export, as shown. I only know that I need to edit the SidePane.htm file, but I don't understand programming. I have tried several times and failed. Please help me, thank you very much.

Hi c3g, yes to add buttons there you will need to edit SidePane.htm, and locate the section for "SubDTabContent" which looks like this:

                    <div id="SubDTabContent">
					    <table style="width:100%">
						    <tr>
								<td><moi:CommandMenuButton icon="icons/SubDCreateIcon.png" menu="SubDCreateMenu.htm"><moi:Text textid="SubD create menu button"/></moi:CommandMenuButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton style="visibility:hidden;">&nbsp;</moi:CommandButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton style="visibility:hidden;">&nbsp;</moi:CommandButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton style="visibility:hidden;">&nbsp;</moi:CommandButton></td>
				 		    </tr>
					    </table>
                    </div>

Edit it to be like this and place 64x64 pixel image files "STEPIn.png" and "STEPOut.png" inside the ui\icons folder:

					<div id="SubDTabContent">
						<table style="width:100%">
							<tr>
								<td><moi:CommandMenuButton icon="icons/SubDCreateIcon.png" menu="SubDCreateMenu.htm"><moi:Text textid="SubD create menu button" /></moi:CommandMenuButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton icon="icons/STEPIn.png" onclick="moi.geometryDatabase.open('e:\\test.step');">STEP In</moi:CommandButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton icon="icons/STEPOut.png" onclick="moi.geometryDatabase.saveAs('e:\\test.step');">STEP Out</moi:CommandButton></td>
								<td><moi:CommandButton style="visibility:hidden;">&nbsp;</moi:CommandButton></td>
							</tr>
						</table>
					</div>
