DXF data processing (software option)
DXF files created in a CAD system can be opened directly by the TNC, in
order to extract contours or machining positions and save them as
conversational programs or as point files.
Plain-language programs acquired in this manner can also be run by older
TNC controls, since these contour programs contain only L and CC-/CP
blocks.
