8.4.10 Import DXF files
The DXF format is standard for exchanging graphic files. Importing this type of files makes
it possible to generate the part-program directly from a drawing. The DXF file may consist
of points, lines and arcs. It can also consist of polylines, but they must be previously
uncombined.
The program editor and the profile editor can import DXF files. When selecting this option,
the editor shows a list of the programs that may be imported. Select the desired program
from the list and press [ENTER].
After selecting the file, define how the various layers of the DXF file are to be converted into
ISO code. Once this data has been set, press the "Convert" softkey to import the file into
the part-program.
Configuring the import of a DXF file.
When importing a DXF file, it shows the configuration window to define how the different
layers of the drawing must be treated.
A List of layers that make up a drawing.
The DXF files may consist of layers and each one has a different part height. All the layers
together make up the whole drawing. For each layer, it indicates its priority (order in which
they are executed) and offset (height) on the perpendicular axis.
When importing the file, you can decide which layers to include in the part-program. By
default, the CNC includes all the layers; to exclude any of them, select it from the list and
press "Disable layer".
B File preview.
The graphic shows all the layers, even if they are disabled and the selected layer is shown
in a different color.
C Data of the layer selected by the cursor. For each layer, one must define its priority and
offset (height) on the perpendicular axis.
• The priority defines the order in which the layers will be executed; i.e. the order in
which they will be included in the part-program. Those with priority ·1· will be executed
first and so on.
• The offset (height) on the perpendicular axis permits executing each layer in the
desired Z coordinate (or that of the relevant perpendicular axis).
D Work plane.
The work plane must be defined before importing the file in the part-program. The plane
is defined by selecting the abscissa axis, the ordinate axis and the perpendicular axis.
When importing it in the profile editor, the plane will be the one selected at the editor and
only the perpendicular axis can be selected.
