Software Support - Cad2Motion printer friendly CAD to Motion is a program designed to allow users to translate CAD generated two dimensional motion paths into TrioBASIC programs. The program allows the user to create motion paths in a CAD package such as AutoCAD and convert them into code executable by a Trio Motion Coordinator. Typically the path information will be drawn on a single layer in the CAD package and exported as a DXF file. The DXF file (layer with motion path only) is read into CAD to Motion to create a program to follow the motion path. The motion path can be manipulated and edited before being saved as a TrioBASIC program file which can be loaded on to a Trio Motion Coordinator.
Features
Can read Industry standard DXF files and TrioBASIC files. Outputs files as TrioBASIC programs. Graphical display of motion path with full pan and zoom facilities. Built in program text editor. Program list and graphical display linked together to show correlation between program code and moves within the motion path. Built in tools to mirror, scale, shift, reverse and rotate motion paths. Full undo on all tool and editor operations. Will handle multiple motion paths (sequences) in the same program.
