How to Import and Export Files
The PathMaster® can import and export programs, projects, and subroutines. It can also
import CAD files.
CAD Files
A 2-dimensional CAD drawing can be imported into PathMaster® as a path program.
There are several steps required for a successful import. These include:
• Create the path drawing in CAD.
• Add the PathMaster® codes to the CAD drawing.
• Turn the CAD drawing to the correct position as it relates to the workcell gantry.
• Export the CAD drawing to a *.dxf (Autodesk Drawing Exchange Format).
• Import the CAD drawing into PathMaster® with the CAD wizard.
• Prepare the CAD File.
NOTE: The CAD X+ and CAD Y+ arrows are for reference only and are not necessary.
