Working with the DXF converter
You cannot use the DXF converter without a mouse
or touch pad. All operating modes and functions as
well as contours and machining positions can only be
selected with the mouse or touch pad.
The DXF converter runs as a separate application on the third
desktop of the TNC. This enables you to use the screen switchover
key to switch between the machine operating modes, the
programming modes and the DXF converter as desired. This
is especially useful if you want to insert contours or machining
positions in a plain-language program by copying through the
clipboard.
