Appendix 1, charlyGRAAL files
12.1
CharlyGRAAL drawing file (*.CAD)
·
In the CAD module, the function «save»
or «save as» generates a file type
«CAD».
It
is a drawing file, like a file «SKD» for Autosketch Ô
or «CDR» for CoreldrawÔ.
Only
drawing information are contained in this file; no machining information
is included in.
You
have to save the drawing files if you wish later to modify the geometry of
the drawing.
12.2
CharlyGRAAL CAM file (*.CAM)
In
the CAM module, the function «Save» or «Save as» generates a file type
«CAM».
This
file can have the same name as the CAD file from which it stems, but it is
not obligatory.
It
contains the data describing the machining trajectories (tool, pass,
speed...). It is useful to save this file if you wish later to modify the
machining parameters or change the used tools.
Observation
:
You
can generate a «.CAM» file using several drawing files (.CAD) by using
the function File —> import from CAM module.
12.3 CharlyGRAAL machining file
(*.PCB)
In the CAM module, the function
«generate the machining file «leads to the creation» of a file
«.PCB».
It’s a matter of a file
containing the list of machine displacement orders. This file is coded
into «binary» and therefore small sized. it is useless to keep this kind
of file because it is saved by a simple «click».
The .PCB file is mainly used if
you wish to machine on an equipment other than on which the CAD and CAM
operations were carried out.
Observation :
When you use the function «machining» in the
CAM module CharlyGRAAL generates a file «CAMTemp.pcb» which is placed in
the directory: «C:\wcharly\Graal\Cam» and automatically transformed in
the piloting module.
13.0 Appendix 2, Import/Export of drawing
through window Ô
Copy/Paste Function
You can also import or export
drawings in charlyGRAAL from another software designed for windows Ô
(vector information).
Warning !
The copy/paste format is more
or less respected according to software editors; which may entail
variations according to the used software (especially with software
written for window 3.1).
Some entities are not generated
by the «copy/paste» of Windows Ô
(points, line thickness, dotted lines...); the processing is left free to
the software editor. It is however recommended to avoid using this kind of
attribute in the «copy/paste», especially, the line thickness. The ideal
thing is to put the thickness to a minimum before starting «copy/paste».
