Opening a DXF file
The DXF converter can be started in different ways:
„ From the file management if you want to extract several contour or
position files consecutively
„ From the form during the machining definition of units 125 (contour
train), 122 (contour pocket) and 130 (contour pocket on point pattern) if
you are supposed to enter the names of the contours to be machined
„ While defining the machining, if you enter the machining positions via
point files

this information (valid for the previously selected file).
