Import additional contour into drawing via DXF
In addition to the exact external geometry of the tool, the contour of the workpiece to be machined on the drawing is often also required. The additional contour thus serves for a better visualization of the intended use. The contour can also easily be used to highlight the cutting part of the tool.
To insert a contour, the function is called via the menu 'Edit' - 'Insert contour'. The desired DXF contour can be selected and imported quickly and clearly using the file selection and preview functions.
In a further step, the contour can still be positioned and aligned. If there are several layers in the DXF, the desired layer can be selected. Even the scaling of a contour to the desired scale can be carried out in the input dialog.
If the contour has been successfully transferred to the drawing, the color of the contour can still be adjusted via the context menu. If the contour has not yet been positioned in its correct position, this can be done later using the 'Move' function in the context menu.
