Machining centre transfer parameter to set the folder the machining instruction data is sent to
● Enter full path name
or
Use the directory button
to browse the paths
The directory contains a machine instruction file for each part in a run.
The files have different extensions for each different machining centre. The filename is made up from the run number (e.g.: 00122) plus the part item number (e.g. 003).
MPR - Homag e.g.: 00122003.mpr
DXF - Busellato/Autolink e.g.: 00122003.dxf
CID - Biesse e.g.: 00122003.cid
ASC - Morbidelli e.g.: 00122003.asc
DXF - 2D DXF layered e.g.: 00122003.dxf
Also set whether sub folders are used or not.

This setting also applies to the paths:-
Path for parts - Back
Path for parts - Horizontal
Notes
- There are several different DXF file formats depending on the transfer type
- These files are in the manufacturer's format and can usually also be used and created at the machining centre. However before programming a machining centre these files have to be analysed and converted into NC or program files which contain raw machine instructions optimised for performance. This conversion is done by the machining centre manufacturer's software (post transfer program).
