Designing a hole (purposefully) in Exocad

[2thm8kr]

It just came back in about 5 minutes ago. We have finally returned to the 21st century.

Good stuff, I know the feeling, in ice storm of 98, was without power over 3 weeks, middle of winter.

That sucks. I've done 4, but heat of the summer is trumped by winter temps. Brrr

What engine build do you have? This can be done easily with basic CAD module.

Version 2015.07
build 5675 (2015-07-16)

If you add the tag posted above to the xml file you will be good to go.

Allow Any Changes (allows ability to punch hole all the way through crown)

<AttachmentInFreeformShowOptionAllowTouchAnything>true</AttachmentInFreeformShowOptionAllowTouchAnything>

This goes in the xml file found here:
?:/exocad/DentalCADApp/config/default settings

Copy and paste it into the xml file after the line about adding 2d images. Restart the software and you are good to go.

"OH ! The files are IN the computer !" This is how i'm feeling right now lol

Yes, exocad is loaded with all kinds of magic things if you know how to unlock them. Every module exists in the initial install. It just needs activating by license.

Invest in "generic" licenses only...branded versions are more or less crippled...

Would there be anywhere I could go to see 'step by step' where to paste that line of code in ? ( possibly the Wiki or a youtube video) I do have a 2015 generic copy of Exo I would love to load some of my own crown designs at some point and read that Exocad had to be configured using XML format . I really am clueless and have no idea what that even means ,lol

I can post some screen shots of where it goes in the xml file unless some kind soul here beats me to it by Monday morning. I am on post Cat4 hurricane party mode and won't be worth a thing until Monday.

Thank you you are very kind ! Please don't bother with it until until you have finished with your Hurricane . I feel bad for you all down there ,it's 90 degs and sunny here . We have the 'desert Trip' festival going on here this weekend and next . The Rolling Stones played 15 mins from my house last night . lol

I suggest downloading the "Notepad++" app, since it has support for XML lingo. Might want to research the XML format before attempting to edit it, so you know some basics (structure wise). Lookup, then open: c:\...\<exo cad install folder>\DentalCADApp\config\defaultsettings.xml
Insert the tags as it is pointed out here:

This example files shows a config file as it's setup by default...(minus the gap among lines, where the arrow points)

Thank you ,I really do need to do some reading

I agree, enjoy"The Stones"
Really appreciate the input from everyone! Hope for dryer days soon 2thm8kr!!!

Will this line of code also work with the newest build release?

It should work...

 

[ericf]

does the location of the line make a difference in the way it applies?
I initially placed it after the "2d" line as stated in earlier post. It works, albeit a little strangely. (haven't used it on real case yet, so everything is a "little strange" at this time. Maybe after a couple of cases things will assimilate.)

I don't think you have to add this to the xml settings of newest version of exo (build 6045 or higher) it is already in the code.
