NC2CAD provides a convenient method of converting numerical control (CNC) part/nest files into AutoCAD DXF format. The entities for each machine process are placed on individual, user-defined layers. NC2CAD is an ideal way to convert an existing CNC part/nest library into an industry-standard CAD format for further modification or quality assurance inspection.

Quickly build a list of files to be translated by selecting single, or groups of files within NC2CAD.  It is as easy as selecting parts, setting translation properties and clicking the process button. NC2CAD will batch process all of the files in the list automatically. The original CNC Code and converted DXF file as well as the summary information for each translated file can then be viewed.

Once files have been converted to DXF format, they can be read into any CAD program that supports AutoCAD DXF files. Then, features of the user’s CAD program may be used to modify the part/nest or use the dimension and properties features to verify their accuracy.
