  • EFFICIENT DSTV TO DXF CONVERSION

    Contour Marking: It is an information written in an NC file that passes information to the NC machine on the layout and the parts that are welded together.

    Requested from client

    Tek1 do care about every client so we thought of seeking the help of Trimble Connect warehouse and found an plugin suiting the criteria.

    Convertor plugin found on Warehouse

    How the Convertor Works

    The convertor converts all the NC files to DXF. By default it converts the members in Front View. To obtain the contour marks that are available at the back face few changes had to be done on the convertor setting for efficient changes.

    SETTINGS TO CHANGE FOR EFFICIENT EXPORT

    Change “side to convert” under Environment tab as Back in the convertor to create DXF with contour marks at Back view.
