communication SW -T-cam
(OP)
Hello, my name is Aart and I've got a question about using information from SW files to use on T-CAM software. This is a 2D CAM application that we use for making contours.
This T-cam application can read *.IFF files and *.ISO files.
I can't figure out how to export contour information from SW directly to T-CAM.
I hope someone can give me some tips on how to find a solution for this problem,
Aart

The problem is that T-CAM used to work with IBM CAD, a less sophisticated sister of CATIA. T-CAM(release 7.0) is also an old application and doesn't work with other file formats than the ones I've mentioned. (There is an option to read IGES files, but it simply doesn't wok. In case of trying to import an IGES file, you just get stuck in a "dead-end street" in which you don't get any feedbck anymore from T-CAM.
This is why I've popped the question. The solution I want to try is to find a way in which I can save IFF or ISO files in Solid Works, but I don't know how?
I hope you've got some ideas for me,
thank you very much, first I will go home and celebrate the week-end, nice week-end t you too,

You may want to check with your VAR as well.

This are the people that you buy your CAD system from.

That is a strange way to spell OXYMORONS.
Aaaaany way. Aart, what is the layout of the two file formats you need? What do you see if you open them with Notebook? If they are text files then there should be some way to get this from one of the several text format files which can be exported from Sworks. We are having great luck using Excel to move data.
