Working with the DXF converter
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 as desired. This is especially useful if
you want to insert contours or machining positions in a plain-language
program by copying through the clipboard.
A mouse is required to use the DXF converter. Operating
modes and functions as well as contours and machining
positions can only be selected with the mouse.
