Working with the DXF converter

You cannot use the DXF converter without a mouse

or touch pad. All operating modes and functions as

well as contours and machining positions can only be

selected with the mouse or touch pad.

The DXF converter runs as a separate application on the third

desktop of the TNC. This enables you to use the screen switchover

key to switch between the machine operating modes, the

programming modes and the DXF converter. This is particularly

useful if you want to add contours or machining positions by

copying using the clipboard in a conversational program.
