1 Functions and prerequisites

The program converts DXF files to the

WoodWOP format (mpr) using specific rules.
The rules are collected together in a CAD system
conversion profile. (e.g. AutoCAD)
In the Basic version of the DXF data
transfer, the conversion profile cannot be
changed. However, conversion profiles
supplied can be opened and used.
The result of the conversion is a WoodWOP
file with all the usual WoodWOP functions. DXF

Note:
The settings (names for drawing layers...)
from the previous version (4.0) of the post-
processor can be applied. CAD data transfer
Î See 2.4 Importing a conversion profile

Note:
The WoodWOP programs generated should
be checked in WoodWOP.

1.1 Requirements on the CAD system

Any CAD system can be the source for the

DXF conversion to the WoodWOP format.
The CAD system only needs to meet the
following requirements.

• It must be possible to create files in DXF

format from the CAD files.

• The CAD system must be able to work

with drawing layers.
- Layer
- Slide
- ...

• Alphanumeric values must be allowed for

the names for the drawing layers.

• For the full utilization of the CAD

interface, the CAD system must allow the
combination of drawing elements.
- Usage of blocks
- Formation of groups

8.3 9-882-47-4260 ENU13.doc 3 / 38

 Post-Processor 5.0 Basic
4.7.4

1.2 Requirements on the drawings

• Use suitable drawing elements:

- Dimensions, cross-hatching, text, ....
cannot be transferred, or can only be
transferred in a limited manner.
- Valid elements:
Î See 2.6 Convertible WoodWOP macros
Î See 4 Overview table

• Specific allocation of the drawing

elements to drawing layers.
- This defines how the drawing elements
are implemented and the information
that is transferred.

• Usage of pre-defined blocks for the

generation of specific WoodWOP macros.
- Blocks are not allowed to be mirrored.
All necessary blocks are supplied as
DXF and DWG files.
-
• The DXF drawings must be drawn in the
scale 1:1.

Note:
In the Professional version the DXF
drawings can be in any scale.

8.3 9-882-47-4260 ENU13.doc 4 / 38

 Post-Processor 5.0 Basic
4.7.4

• Undesirable conversion results and

discontinuities in contour lines are mostly
caused by messy drawings.

• If CAD geometries are to produce

uninterrupted WoodWOP contour lines,
then these must be drawn without gaps
and intersections. This is to be achieved
by using the snap function during
drawing.

• The overlapping of several drawing

elements in one drawing layer can results
in ambiguities and is to be avoided.

2.5 Naming the drawing layers (layers,

slides...)

The names for the drawing layers comprise

keywords, code letters, numbers and
underscores.
Numbers that come after the keyword for the
drawing layer without an underscore in
general define a machining mode.
Numbers that come after the code letters
without an underscore define its value.
To state decimal numbers, an underscore (
_ ) must be used instead of a comma ( , ).

Example: UNI_Saeg0_19_2W44_5

- Keyword: UNI_Saeg0
Signifies universal saws in mode 0.

- Numerical entry: 19_2

Signifies: 19.2 (mm / inch) deep.

- Code letter: W
Stands for the swivel angle.

- Numerical entry 44_5

Defines the swivel angle at 44.5°.

Note:
An overview diagram on the naming of the
drawing layers (layer codes) is included in
this documentation.

The blocks U_Bohr and U_Drill are supplied in DXF and DWG format as
Note example files.
They are marked in the middle with a U for drilling from the underside.

Drawing layer U_Tasche_<routing depth>

U_Pocket_<routing depth>
CAD elements Block: U_Tasche
Block: U_Pocket
• The insertion point for the block defines the X/Y position of the middle
of the pocket in the X/Y plane.
• The numerical information in the name for the drawing layers defines
the routing depth (viewed from below).
Result • An arrow in the block defines the direction of the gear arm tool during
the machining.
• The X scaling of the block defines the pocket length.
• The Y scaling of the block defines the pocket width.
• The insertion angle of the block defines the angle of the pocket.
Corner radii cannot be defined in the CAD drawing.
Note The blocks U_Tasche and U_Pocket are supplied in DXF and DWG
format as example files.
They are marked in the middle with a U for pockets from the underside.

2.6.16 Suction unit

Drawing level Sauger_G<Saugerkennung>

Cup_S<Suction identifier>
• Block: Sauger_G_117x117, Sauger_G_120x50,
CAD elements Sauger_G_125x75, Sauger_G_150x30
• Block: Cup_S_117x117, Cup_S_120x50, Cup_S_125x75,
Cup_S_150x30
Suction units are represented by blocks in the CAD drawing. The
definition of suction units in the CAD drawing is limited for data-related
technical reasons:
Î Only suction units for smooth tables can be converted (no positioning of
suction units on brackets)
Î Only the suction unit identifiers from the name of the drawing level can
be evaluated and transferred to WoodWOP
Result Î Suction unit dimensions cannot be transferred from the CAD drawing

Since only the suction unit identifiers can be transferred together with the
insertion positions and the rotating angles of the blocks, the CAD suction
units in WoodWOP must also be supplied with corresponding suction unit
definitions.
Î The actual dimensions of the suction units including collision
separations are defined exclusively in WoodWOP under the
corresponding suction unit identifiers
The CAD blocks of the suction units have been created as examples with
the dimensions indicated in the block name.
Special notes The collision separation is 35 mm. They are supplied in DXF and DWG
formats as example files and their centers are marked with their
dimensions.

3 Example files

Various example files are copied to the

installation folder during the installation of
the software.

Folder Bpp5
In this folder there are example files that can
be used as a conversion profile (*.ini).

- Weeke_milimeter.ini
- Weeke_inch.ini
- CadCamPro_E.ini

• The file “CadCamPro_E“ must be loaded

if EEDs are used.
• Otherwise the file „Weeke_milimeter.ini“ /
„Weeke_inch.ini“ should be loaded as a
conversion profile.

Blocks folder
In the “Blocks“ folder all blocks necessary
for CAD drawings are saved. These blocks
are available in the formats DXF and DWG
and must be used for the generation of the
certain WoodWOP macros.
