CAD data from other systems

hyperCAD®-S allows you to import CAD data from other systems and formats quickly and securely.

A comprehensive and power­ful inter­face package makes it possible to import data between different CAD systems and hyperCAD®-S with­out any problems. Then you can benefit from a CAD environment that is perfectly tailored to the requirements of CAM programmers, and, at the same time, use all the entities, pro­per­ti­es, and structures from your original CAD data.

This means that you have all the familiar information from your original CAD system at your disposal when you work in hyperCAD®-S:

Entities

  • Points
  • Curves
  • Faces
  • Solids
  • Assembly features
  • Axis systems
  • Texts
  • Tessellations
  • Datum planes

Properties

  • Colors
  • Layers
  • Names
  • Threads
  • ISO fits

You can easily import individual parts, variants, and modules as well as all product manufacturing in­for­ma­ti­on (PMI).

Product Manufacturing Information (PMI)

The complexity of the various parts and components makes it necessary to use PMI safely in the design data and in manufacturing. hyperCAD®-S is able to import and display geometric dimensions and tolerances (“GD&T” information), sur­face finishes, and metadata with notes. Machine-readable PMI, also referred to as “semantic PMI”, can be evaluated and processed directly by hyperMILL®. This makes it possible, for e­xam­ple, to assign tolerance specifications directly to the respective machining jobs and apply them there.
