(This functionality is optionally available in the DA-66T for 2D products only) The DXF import option is started with the command button above New Product. Import DXF opens a file selection browser to select the DXF file.
Page 36 For the DXF file to be imported it is advised to create the original drawing as accurate as possible. Bend lines should be connected to contour lines to obtain an accurate product drawing. If this is not the case, the DXF Converter can correct small errors. After selecting the DXF file the DXF import function window will open showing the DXF file.
Page 37: Product Drawing Dimensions
2.2.1. Product drawing dimensions The drawing file can be organised in two ways: • projection dimensions; • cutting dimensions. These ways are described in the following subparagraphs. During operation in the DXF converter, it is possible to switch between cutting dimensions and projection dimensions.
Page 38: Bendlines And Layer Selection With Line Assignment
2.2.2. Bendlines and Layer selection with Line assignment For a proper conversion, the assignment of specific product properties to lines in the DXF is important. Depending on the content of the DXF, the bendlines, contour and additional text information can be assigned layer by layer. In case layer selection is set off, the bendlines are being searched for automatically.
Page 39: Layer Selection Switched On
Layer selection switched on With layer selection on, the available layers in the DXF are shown in the list. In the header the symbols of angle, contour, text and visualisation are shown and indicate the layer assignment. Each layer can be assigned to the specific property column by checking a checkbox.

3.4. Bend properties 3.4.1. Air bend Drawing a product graphically is simply programming the line length, angle value, next line length, etc. till the product has its required shape. The bends in the product have their standard or specific properties. The bend properties can be set by selecting the bend and selecting Properties.
Page 59: Large Radius: Bumping
A large radius is meant to be bent with a special radius punch with large radius. If such a punch is not available, the bumping method can be selected. The radius value may not exceed the length of any adjacent sides. For the definition of the line lengths to be programmed in the part connected to a radius bend, see figure below.
Page 60 First you can choose the Angle Definition. The available definitions are: • The default angle is the angle which could be programmed as standard. • The central angle is the supplement of the default angle (i.e. 180 degrees - default angle).
Page 61: Hem Bends
• Enabled (equal sizes) When Enabled all segments will have an equal size. When Disabled the calculation is including half size segments. If in this case a problem with the size of the V die is detected in the bend sequence determination, the user is asked whether or not to select a re-calculation with equally sized segments.
Page 62 the best practical value, the default value is 30 degrees. Hem opening The hem bend can be made with a certain opening distance between the 2 flanges. The hem opening value will be used calculating the beam position in the hemming process. By default this parameter has the value of the Settings mode parameter Default Hem Opening.
