2. BUG-6240 CAD Interface.
This is a complete package that includes both
the PC option and DeskCNC. This will allow
you to take two dimensional CAD drawings
and convert them to Shape files that you can
directly load into your shape machine.
t •tDeskCNC is used to modify two tt
tt dimensional CAD drawings (.DXF files)
tt and create a toolpath
t •tThe toolpath is saved as a CNC file
tt using DeskCNC
t •tThe CNC file can be loaded in the PC

For custom shapes, select the
“shape” software. Programming
is simple, but will require a
few more steps due to all the
variations possible.
First, the developed pattern
should be laid out as if the pipe
is unrolled flat. The cut is then
split into a sequence of straight
lines or circular arcs that make
up the desired pattern.
Next, these should be listed
in a table on paper, with the
type, quadrant and required
dimensions (referring to the chart
in the Instruction Manual).
To program the shape, press
“A”, then enter the total
segments at the prompt.
Next, enter the data for each
segment type, quadrant and
dimensions in turn, at the
prompt. When all segments
are entered the program is
ready to run.
