Imports one or more NC Rout (.rou) files.

 

Note: DFM Now! currently imports Excellon format only.

Note: If more than one rout file is being imported simultaneously or an existing Tool table is already defined, DFM Now! will automatically map different tools with the same number but different diameters.

 

Command Sequence

 

1. Select menu: File | Import | Rout

 

2. Select the Rout files you want to import, and press "OK".  The Import Rout wizard dialog box appears.

 

Note: To select more than one rout file, you may use dynamic selection by holding "Shift" or "Ctrl" keys.

 

3. Select whether your files are in English or Metric units.

 

4. Select Integer Digits (digits to the left of the decimal point)  you wish to use.

 

5. Select Decimal Digits (digits to the right of the decimal point)  you wish to use.

 

6. Select the Type of format, Absolute or Incremental.

 

7. Select the Zero Suppression format required.

 

8. Click "Next" to begin importing rout files.

 

Note: DFM Now! will automatically scan your rout files to determine if there are any missing tool definitions.

 

If a Missing Tool is detected, you will receive a warning, stating that you must define all tools before proceeding.  Click on button "Assign Tool Sizes...", to display the NC Tools Table. Enter in the required tools for the rout file(s) you wish to import.  If you are importing more than one rout file, and they use different tools sizes for the same tool number, than you will need to cancel the Import Rout Wizard and, import each rout file one at a time.

 

9. Once Rout loading is complete, a Status & Import log are available for your review.  If DFM Now! encounters any errors or warnings during import, they will be displayed here.

 

10. Click button "Finish" button to view the imported data.
