CAD filtering, DXF splitting added to order creation software

Jetcam Intl. s.a.r.l. has released version 1.65 of its Jetcam Orders Controller (JOC) Premium and Premium Automation with two new CAD import features, designed to streamline the process of generating NC code from CAD files.

Many companies receive CAD files of components from customers in a single DXF nest which then must be split into individual geometries. The software now includes a DXF splitter that can automatically extract these entities, applying profile-based rules such as tolerances and whether text within an entity should be used as each file name.

The splitting process takes a few seconds, even for complex nests containing dozens or even hundreds of individual entities, says the company. Once split, each file or the entire nest can be previewed before the CAD import process continues.

A new CAD filtering function allows the user to create individual profiles that then can be applied to single files or batches automatically. This allows the user to create rules that are applied automatically to, for example, a customer’s supplied DXFs so that common issues can be addressed automatically when the user selects the profile.
