Export as STEP-file (STEP modus) / Export to WLC (Pro modus)
Start
Pro
Description
Exports all parts in the scene that are marked for CNC. The result of the export process depends on the used Para-Flex license and settings:
- Using Para-Flex Start or Pro
All parts assigned to CNC are exported to STEP files.
These files can be loaded into CNC machines and CNC software to add tooling to the 3D geometry drawn in IronCAD. - Using Para-Flex CAM
All parts assigned to CNC are exported to INI files.
These files can be loaded into WoodLabCAM to automate or edit tooling properties already assigned to the parts. Be sure to switch Enable Pro integration on. When this integration is switched off, the function Export CNC will act like Para-Flex Start or Pro and just export Step files. See the CAM configuration fields in Options/Settings. - Using a Bulk Drawing Template set in Settings
All parts assigned to CNC are exported to 2D DXF files.
When a ICD file is assigned to the field Bulk DXF template file in Options/Settings (See Path configuration), regardless of the license and Pro integration settings Para-Flex exports 2D DXF files. The files will be created conform the information set to the parts in the 3D IronCAD model and the linked Bulk Drawing Template.
Conditions
- If INI files are needed, use a CAM license and switch the Pro Integration on as mentioned above.
