This page describes how to export a COMCO CSV file from VTube-STEP.
You can use this feature to convert STEP file data into tube data and then export COMCO CSV data for bender set up.
Initial Template File Set Up at the COMCO
Before building COMCO CSV files in VTube-STEP, it is important to build template files from the COMCO control. |
|
Export each setup as a CSV file to a thumb drive or network using the CSV in/output screen. |
STEPS for EXPORTING a COMCO CSV from VTube-STEP
STEP 1 - Import a Solid Model or Manually Enter Part Data in VTube
Import Solid Model
You can import data using one of the import formats - like import a STEP or IGES model of a tube shown here. |
Autobuild Cylindrical Tube
This shows VTube-STEP after the Autobuild process is complete. It calculates the centerline, diameter, and radii data from the model. |
Click on the Import/Export button in the Navigation Pane. Now click on the EXPORT Supravision button in the EXPORT section of the menu. |
|
STEP 3 - Click on the BEGIN button in the Export Window
This will take you through the steps to export to a COMCO CSV file. |
|
STEP 4 - Choose An Output Path in the Path Manager
The Path Manager lets you choose a path from a list of saved paths that you use often. Double click on the output path. |
|
STEP 5 - Save the New File
In the Save dialog, edit name, then press save. |
|
STEP 6 - Load the Supravision File Into the External Program
Other programs, like TubeCAD or CNC Bender controls, can import Supravision files to establish new parts. |
|
How to Move the SV Export Button to the Top
To make it easier to get to, you might want to move the Supravision export button to the top of the EXPORT list. |
