CNC Files, CNC File Types, and DXF File
Posted on | November 15, 2010 |
CNC File information can now be found on Ivan’s website that is all about Computer Numerical Control. The new CNC File website is set up for users to know and understand everything there is to know about Computer Numerical Control Files. The website on CNC Files can be viewed for free by users at the following webpage: http://www.cncinformation.com/cnc-files-dxf-file-dwg-file/
Ivan spends some time explaining the various types of Computer Numerical Control Files. Here is an excerpt from Ivan’s discussion on Computer Numerical Control File Types:
“ai – Adobe Illustrator Artwork (AI) is a proprietary file format developed by Adobe Systems for representing single-page vector-based drawings in either the EPS or PDF formats. The .ai filename extension is used by Adobe Illustrator.
.eps – Encapsulated PostScript, or EPS, is a DSC-conforming PostScript document with additional restrictions intended to make EPS files usable as a graphics file format.
.hpgl – HPGL, sometimes hyphenated as HP-GL, is the primary printer control language used by Hewlett-Packard plotters. The name is a set of initials for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language. It later became a standard for almost all plotters.
.dxf – AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format, developed by Autodesk as their solution for enabling data between AutoCAD and other programs.” See more at: http://www.cncinformation.com/cnc-files-dxf-file-dwg-file/
Ivan has plenty more information and articles surrounding the topic of Computer Numerical Control files. Its important for a CNC user to understand the various files as you begin to get into Computer Numerical Control.
