ConvertPart is a function that allows the user to convert part profile in DXF file format to Part (.VEC file format).
Similarly, it allows user to convert Parts (.VEC file format) back into DXF format.
If the Parts have markings, make sure you set the ‘Layer Name’ & ‘Color’ filters of the parts so that ConvertPart is able to differentiate the part profiles from the markings. You define the layer names and colors in Sysdata “Input Part /IR-Stock – Layer Setting”.
Select the ConvertPart command icon from the icon menu or from the AutoNEST pulldown menu. The following dialog box will appear:
