Exports the geometric information of bars in an NCW file or XML file.
These can be converted with suitable NC software and then transferred to a CNC machining center for production.
In the current as-shipped state the first saw cut of the two ends of the bar is contained in the export file. Processes (clinches, holes, etc.) on the ends of the bar and within the bar are not contained in the export file.

Dialog box section Analyze
Complete drawing Writes the CNC data of all bars of the drawing to the export file.
Region Exports the bar CNC data of the selected drawing region.
Select region < Selects the bars of which the data is to be exported. For this, the dialog box is temporarily closed and an input request follows for the object selection.
Component Lists all analyzable bars in the selected drawing region.
In order to be able to analyze bars, they must have been allocated to a job with the Project browser. You will find further information in the section Project browser.
Dialog box section Output
XML format Exports bars in the XML format. An *.xml file is written.
XML files contain geometrical information of the bars for production (e.g. length and trim angle). Machine-specific information (for tools, clamping, etc.) must be converted with a suitable conversion program. XML files can be used for bar optimization, for example.
CNC format Exports bars in the CNS format. An *.ncw file is written.
NCW files contain geometrical information of the bars for production (e.g. length and trim angle). Machine-specific information (for tools, clamping, etc.) must be converted with a suitable conversion program. NCW files can be opened with an NCW viewer and viewed graphically.
Dialog box section Support
In the bar definition it must be stated how the bar is to be mounted on the machining center. Here you can specify which definition is to be used for the export.
Machining center Uses the CMC machine mounting for the export.
Saw Uses the saw machine mounting for the export.

Dialog box section Unit
Determines whether the dimensions for the geometry are stated in inches or millimeters.
Dialog box section Safety margin
Outside Specifies the external safety margin.
Inside Specifies the internal safety margin.
With an incorrectly set internal safety margin the inner chamber of the tool may be damaged.
Additional run Specifies the number of additional runs.
End of program
When you terminate the program with OK, the geometrical data of the selected bars are exported in a file. A final message provides information about the number of written data records.
Note: This function generates data for producing bars. The data are to be checked by the user. CAD-PLAN GmbH can in no way be held liable for the results of this function and any errors and losses arising from it.
