Automatic DXF Import
Overview
Hypertherm Automation controls offer two styles of automated DXF import. The first
DXF feature allows the CAD designer to prepare a DXF file that includes the location of
pierces, pierce order and direction. When this file is loaded into the control, an EIA
format part program will be created for use at the control.
The second type of DXF file is a fully automatic DXF import feature that allows the
control operator to select lead style and length. The CNC Auto DXF software
automatically places the lead-in and lead-out based on the operator selections and creates
an EIA format part program ready for use and the CNC.
Load DXF Files
To load a DXF file, access the Files Load screen and select the source location and file.
If the file includes the lead-in and direction, the control detects this and translates the file
for use. For more information, see Prepared DXF Files.
