Chapter 1 - Importing Point Data (CAD Import Utilities)
The Intercam Import Point Data Utility allows users to import a vast array of points and vectors from a TXT file.
Importing points/vectors from a text file can be used in the following Robotmaster CAM Modules.
Points/Vectors - Cycles CAM Module [Line Point Path], Contouring CAM Module [Tilting], Surface Paths [Tilting]
Points - Cycles CAM Module [Surface Point Path], Contouring CAM Module [Tilting, Clearance], Surface Paths [Tilting, Clearance]
You can import point data with the following command:
The input file must be a TXT file with the list of points.
Where each line in the TXT file must follow this syntax order and must be delimited by a space.
X Y Z [I] [J] [K]
The I, J, K values between brackets are optional.
Getting Started
Cartesian X, Y, Z point list
If only the first 3 values (X, Y, Z) are included, the module will import points only:
Cartesian X, Y, Z point list + I, J, K vector notation
If 6 values are included, the module will import points + vectors
If the values for I, J and K are zero, the imported vectors will point from the origin away
