AutoCAD to Bender software, also known as DXF2SV, converts data from AutoCAD DXF files to bender compatible Supravision files.
Software Features
SETUP IMPORT / EXPORT FILES
| Enter the IMPORT DXF file and the new EXPORT Supravision file. |  |
RECOGNIZES AUTOCAD GEOMETRY
| The centerline data that defines the tube shape can be placed on any unique AutoCAD layer. The program recognizes 3-D lines on a designated search layer that define the end points and intersection points. (The search layer is programmable.) 3-D arcs on that layer (or another unique layer) are used to determine the centerline bend radii at each bend. The program also allows you to skip using 3-D arcs in order to build programs with a default radius. The Centerline Search Layer dialog allows you to select the search layer from a list of layers available in the current DXF file. |  |
<tr><td>
INTERSECTION TOLERANCE
</td> <td align="center">
A programmable intersection tolerance ensures that intersecting lines are matched using the DXF2KEINS matching algorithm - even if rounding errors exist in the data. With this feature, it is possible to have geometry that is just "close" (not perfect) and the DXF2SV converter will still be able to build the centerline data.
</tr> <tr><td>
SUPRAVISION DATA OPTIONS
</td> <td>
DXF2SV allows further control of the following internal Supravision data during conversion:1. Part Number
2. Diameter
3. Total Length
</tr> <tr><td>
AUTOMATIC PROCESSING
</td> <td></td>
The program can be run in automode, which allows for control by other programs. In this mode, DXF2SV automatically unloads when conversion is complete.
</tr> <tr><td>
CONVERSION LOG
</td> <td></td>
During conversion, DXF2SV displays a conversion log on the screen to indicate the progress of the build. Also, it builds a conversion log file that enables you to track the last session results in any word processor. The log contains a date/time stamp for every line built.
</tr> <tr><td>
SUPRAVSION DATA LOG
</td> <td>
After conversion, DXF2SV displays the created Supravision data that was saved to the newly built Supravision data file. This log is created in the Rich Edit format and can be viewed by WordPad or most other Rich Edit compatible word processors.
