CADability dotNET: Generating CNC-programs
- In many cases there are readily worked out CAD drawings from which you want to create CNC programs. With CADability you can read DXF/DWG, Iges, Step, Acis/SAT and Parasolid-XT drawings or models.
- On the other hand CADability gives you all the power to create 2D drawings and 3D models interactively.
- Mixing both techniques you can import models and modify or add new geometric details.
- All geometric data of the models or drawings are visible to and accessible by your software.
- By means of interactive actions the user can select and identify geometric items like edges, fases or solids.
- There is a special "path" object whic is suitable to describe paths of tools movement.
- Supply custom interactiv actions to enable the user to create points, pathes or any other important geometric data.
- There are special functions to generate equidistant pathes, which are often required for the movement of tools.
- Equidistant hatch patterns (spiral equidistant, concentric or linear hatch styles) can be used for milling.
- All geometric objects can be associated with any kind of data (UserData). This data can also be persistent and interactiv. So it is easy to find e.g. a database entry when the user clics on an geometric object.
- Typically you use UserData objects for thigs like tool selection, speed, rev or databasy key.
- For 2D tasks there are readily implemented actions to find connected curves or closed curves by simply clicking inside a boundary.
- With CADability's animation it is possible to visualize complex and dependent movements of symbols in realtime, slow motion or time lapse (complex milling pathes in space).
