TubesT - Save the YXY File

I. Introduction

 

After parts are nested in TubesT, a ZX file is exported for processing in TubePro.

But the ZX file is non-editable and solely intended for processing.

If you discover during processing that need to adjust the part processes, part sequences, and so on.  You must reopen the previously saved YXY file in TubesT for editing.

When opening a YXY file, TubesT restores the state at which the file was saved (That's similar to how SolidWorks handles SLDPRT files).

Note:

① Steel Section Edition YXY (TubesT-H) and Professional Edition YXY  (TubesT) are not interchangeable , that's can only be opened in respective software.
② YXY files can only be opened by TubesT/TubesT-H; TubePro cannot open them.

 

 

II. Usage Methods

 

1. Manual Saving

 

The 【Save】 and 【Open】 buttons in the upper-left corner of TubesT allow manual saving as YXY and reopening.

 

 

2. Automatic Saving

 

Check the 【Automatically Save YXY When Exporting (ZX/ZH)】 option in the User Parameters Configuration page. The software will automatically save a YXY file to the specified directory after exporting the processing file.

This can be saved to the same directory as ZX/ZH or a specified location you set.
