CAD2Motion
CAD2Motion is a program designed to allow users to translate CAD generated two
dimensional motion paths into Trio BASIC programs.
The program allows the user to create motion paths in a CAD package such as
AutoCAD and convert them into code executable by a Motion Coordinator. Typi-
cally the path information will be drawn on a single layer in the CAD package and
exported as a DXF file. The DXF file (layer with motion path only) is read into
CAD2Motion to create a program to follow the motion path.
The motion path can be manipulated and edited before being saved as a Trio
BASIC program file which can be loaded on to a Motion Coordinator.
• Can read Industry standard DXF files and TrioBASIC files.
• Outputs files as TrioBASIC programs.
• Graphical display of motion path with full pan and zoom facilities.
• Built in program text editor.
• Program list and graphical display linked together to show correlation between
program code and moves within the motion path.
• Built in tools to mirror, scale, shift, reverse and rotate motion paths.
• Full undo on all tool and editor operations.
• Will handle multiple motion paths (sequences) in the same program.
