File "Include program"
It may be used to import the content of a part-program into the one being edited. Any
program that may be accessed from the CNC may be imported, even the program
currently in execution.
When selecting this option, the CNC shows a list of the programs that may be

To import a program from the list:

the program listing.
The selected program is added to the one being edited after the block indicated by
the cursor.
File "Print"

CNC.
File "Import"
It permits importing DXF, PIM and PIT files into the program being edited. See
"6.2.2 Import DXF files" on page 100.
• The DXF format is standard for exchanging graphic files. Importing this type of
files makes it possible to generate the part-program directly from a drawing. The
files must consist of points, lines and arcs.
• PIM and PIT files are part-programs used by the 8055 CNC. When importing this
type of file, its programming language is adapted to the one used by the CNC.
When selecting this option, the CNC shows a list of the programs that may be
imported into the one being edited. Select the desired program from the list and press
[ENTER].
