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. |
|
VTube will explain the two step process. |
STEP 4 - Choose a CSV Template File
Choose the CSV Template file that you exported from the COMCO control. |
|
As soon as you click Open, a dialog will appear explaining STEP 2 again. |
STEP 5 - Save a New COMCO CSV File
Now VTube-STEP asks you to choose a new name for the OUTPUT CSV file that will be built. |
|
VTube-STEP will show a "SUCCESS" dialog if the file was exported properly. |
STEP 6 - Import the New CSV File at the COMCO Control
Take the CSV file to the COMCO control and import it through the CSV menu. |
|
How to Move the COMCO CSV Export Button to the Top
To make it easier to get to, you might want to move the COMCO CSV export button to the top of the EXPORT list. |
|
The buttons will reorder based on your setup. |
