Offset positions from dxf drawing - example

You can mark offset positions on the part in Autocad dxf files and load them into CNCOffsetCalc automatically when dxf file is loaded. The offsets are taken from points (nodes) drawn in the dxf file. The order of offsets is the same as you drew the points in the AutoCAD. Primary offset is taken from the nearest offset to the spindle and all secondary offsets are recalculated relative to the primary offset.

Example of an AutoCAD drawing with points in place of offsets:

  Import dxf file into CNCOffsetCalc: File->Read dxf.

Offsets taken from AutoCAD dxf file. Offsets have Y position 0 and B position 0 - change according to the part.

   Change Y and B offsets positions for each offset - type the values in the table grid.

   Set output option in MC Setup | Editor page (G10 code, system variables, hard coded pos.) and press Post CNC button.
