Objectives This Operator's Guide describes the CAD Reader PC application and
how to use it. The CAD Reader enables you to convert drawings
constructed with a CAD system for further processing on a
SINUMERIK control. The format of the imported file is DXF (Drawing
eXchange Format) from which contours or drill points are filtered out.
Note
The CAD Reader can be used for systems with the following software
versions:
Controls SINUMERIK 840D/840Di/810D All versions
Target systems HMI Advanced or HMI Embedded SW 5.1 and higher
ShopMill and ManualTurn SW 5.3 and higher
ShopTurn SW 6.2 and higher
Please note the supplementary conditions regarding the number of

Standard scope This Operator's Guide describes the functionality afforded by standard
functions. Differences and additions implemented by the machine-tool
manufacturer are documented by the machine-tool manufacturer.
Please consult your local Siemens office for more detailed information
about other SINUMERIK 840D, 840Di and 810D as well as the
publications that apply to all SINUMERIK controls (e.g. Universal
Interface, Measuring Cycles ...).
Other functions not described in this documentation might be
executable in the control. This does not, however, represent an
obligation to supply such functions with a new control or when
servicing.

Structure of descriptions All functions and operating options have been described according to
the same internal structure as far as this is meaningful and
practicable. The various levels of information have been structured so
that you can find the information you are looking for quickly.
1. Function
This theoretical section is primarily intended as learning material for
the NC beginner. It provides important information that will help you to
understand the principle of operating functions.
You should work through the manual at least once to get an idea of
the scope of the functions and capability of your SINUMERIK control.
2. Operating sequence
This section provides a clear diagrammatic description of the
sequence of key inputs required. If inputs have to be made at
individual stages of the sequence or if you require additional
information, you will find this next to the key illustrations.
3. Further notes
For safety reasons, some of the functions are protected from access
by unauthorized persons. The machine-tool manufacturer can
influence or modify the described functions. Please follow the
instructions of the machine-tool manufacturer.
