Importing features
Significant time can be saved by importing features from a drawing file and using the Auto program func-
tion to add feature measurement steps to the program. To import features and Auto program measurement
steps:
1 Click the File/Import menu item. The Import dialog box will be displayed.
2 Highlight the desired
file and then click Open.
The QC5200 can import
.igs and .dxf files. When
a .igs file is imported, the
unit of measure is contained
in the file. When a .dxf
file is imported, an Import
Options dialog box will be
displayed and the unit of
measure must be specified. Click the mm or inch radio button to specify the
appropriate unit of measure for the imported features, and then click OK. The
features will be imported and shown in the Features template and Part View
window.
