12.3 CAD Import (option 42)

Application

You can open CAD files directly on the control in order to extract
contours and machining positions from it. You can then store them
as Klartext programs or as point files. Klartext programs acquired in
this manner can also be run on older HEIDENHAIN controls, since
these contour programs contain only L and CC/C blocks.
As an alternative to CC or C blocks, you can configure
circular movements to be output as CR blocks.
Further information: "Basic settings", Page 500
If you process files in Programming mode, then the control
generates contour programs with the file extension .H and point files
with the extension .PNT by default. You can select the file type in the
save dialog.
To insert a selected contour or a selected machining position directly
into an NC program, use the control's clipboard. Using the clipboard,
you can even transfer the contents to the software tools (e.g.,
Leafpad or Gnumeric).
Operating notes:
Before loading the file into the control, ensure that the
name of the file contains only permitted characters.
Further information: "File names", Page 106
The control does not support binary DXF format. Save
the DXF file in ASCII format in the CAD or drawing
program.
