Export DXF

In This Topic

The machining data can be output from CabMasterPro in a DXF format. In addition further information is provided specifically for use by EzyNest/EnRoute to allow the cabinets to have the correct tooling applied, be nested, output to the flatbed for routing and have labels produced - see CNC Config.

A collection of machining files will be created typically in DXF format (depending on the machining configuration) - the file extension of these file are by default .DXT (used to prepare your job for the CNC machine). However, an override is available on the File > Options [F10] > Advanced page.

Before outputting the data from CabMasterPro make sure that you have allocated a Job Number and save (File > Save As) with a descriptive drawing name.

To output this data, create the DXT and DXF files to be sent to EzyNest by ...

OR
Using the keyboard shortcut F8;
If you press F8 and nothing happens, then make sure the current focus is on the main application window and not, for example, on the Drawing Properties dialog.

OR
Selecting from the File menu Export > Export Machining option.

The data is output to the chosen location.

Options 2 and 3 require that you open EzyNest and these files are loaded to process.

Location of Files

A message, as per the following example, will appear telling you...

a DXT and DXF files have been created from your job and what materials they consist of.
and the location of these created files, allowing them to be accessed in EzyNest.

The Status Bar will provide details of the progress of the Export.

In the example above, you can see that 8 DXFs have been sent to C:\machining\Lesson 10\16mm Carcass White\Lesson 10.dxt.

From that information we can determine that it is in a folder in the C Drive as illustrated.
