Appendix C, DXF File Import Using TeachMotion DXF
TeachMotion
™
DXF is a software utility designed to import DXF les, thus simplifying dispensing program
development. Importing a DXF le into the TeachMotion DXF software creates a dispensing program that includes all
the commands necessary to replicate the user-selected points, lines, arcs, and circles of a DXF le.
This software can also be used to create and modify the dispense programs stored on the Teach Pendant, allowing
you to conveniently manage all dispense programs through a personal computer (PC). This appendix provides an
overview of the TeachMotion DXF software and the procedures for using the software to import DXF les.
