HEIDENHAIN iTNC 530 283
7.1 DXF data processing (software option)
Selecting and storing machining positions
Three possibilities are available in the pattern generator for defining
machining positions:
Individual selection:
You select the desired machining position through individual mouse
clicks (see "Individual selection" on page 284)
Quick selection of hole positions in an area defined by the mouse:
By dragging the mouse to define an area, you can select all the hole
positions within it (see "Quick selection of hole positions in an area
defined by the mouse" on page 285)
Quick selection of hole positions by entering a diameter:
By entering a hole diameter, you can select all hole positions with
that diameter in the DXF file (see "Quick selection of hole positions
by entering a diameter" on page 286)
Select a file type
The following file types are available:
Point tables (.PNT)
Pattern generator tables for smarT.NC (.HP)
Plain-language Klartext program (.H)
If you save the machining positions to a plain-language program, the
TNC creates a separate linear block with cycle call for every machining
position (L X... Y... M99). You can also transfer this program to old
TNC controls and run it there.
You must use the touchpad on the TNC keyboard or a
mouse attached via the USB port in order to select a
machining position.
If the positions to be selected are very close to one
another, use the zoom function.
If required, configure the basic settings so that the TNC
shows the tool paths (see "Basic settings" on page 276).
The point tables (.PNT) of the TNC 640 and iTNC 530 are
not compatible. Transferring and processing on the other
control type in each case may lead to problems and
unforeseen performance.
