1.2 Introduction

Welcome to Flexline CAD

This is a data conversion system for Microsoft Windows. The system can convert these files into

production programs of JUKI mounters, or the production support system.

Flexline CAD as graphical software

This system makes the most of the graphical operating environment provided by Windows.

Accordingly, everyone can easily operate this system.

High compatibility

The compatibility with wade-range of CAD packages is provided by CAD data file format

describing function. The system has flexibility to meet various customers' requirements easily

and quickly.

Main functions of Flexline CAD

• Conversion of the data of various CAD systems including FLEX PROGRAM (former CAD

conversion software) and the production data of various companies. (ASCII format →

Production programs of various JUKI mounters, the production support system)

• Conversion into the ASCII format files (STF format) of JUKI production programs

1.3 Outline of Flexline CAD product

This CAD converts the data (PWB data, placement data, and component data of ASCII format

files) created different CAD systems so that these data can be used for various JUKI mounters

through a simple procedure.

For data conversion, an input format defining the CAD data file format is required. For the input

/ output format, see "10-1 Standard format". In case such a defined input format is not

available, the "user-defined wizard" (refer to "7. User-Defined Wizard") is used for creation.

◇The items required to use Flexline CAD are as follows:

1. "Input format"

This means an input format that indicates the data sequence of the CAD data to be

converted. Define the input format before CAD conversion and select a format for a file

(CAD data, etc.) to be converted at conversion. Thus, the CAD data file is converted.

2. "Environment setup"

Set the defaults of this CAD, set the output file format and conversion, and set display

items.

3. "Conversion mode"

Two types of data conversion mode, namely, "Sectional conversion mode" and "Batch

conversion mode" are prepared.

"Sectional conversion mode": This mode is used to convert single or multiple CAD data

file information into a production program of one mounter in combined form. This mode is

selected when PWB data, placement data, and component data are contained in different

files. The number of output files is always one.

"Batch conversion mode": This mode permits converting single or multiple CAD data files

simultaneously. For one CAD data, one production program is created. This mode is

suitable for simultaneous conversion of multiple files.

4. "Data change dialog box"

When specific items of data must be corrected before conversion, data correction can be

attained by using the data change dialog box.

 The following figure shows a conversion operation flow for using the CAD conversion
