gCAD3D has
its own import/export programs,
an integrated 3D-OpenGL-Viewer,
a program interpreter for geometry NC commands in 3D,
its own integrated numerical control processor
a program interface for user external user programs (Plugins)
The creation of geometrical elements / NC-programs can be done by -
interactively generated geometrical objects or
manually generated command texts or
by
DXF Import module or by
IGES import module or
by
data file created by program or by
special import processors (user programs)
The programinterpreter provides functions for -
creation and spatial visualisation of data
NC-working, direct and programcontrolled
preparation of data (building contours ..)
analysis of data
programmingfunctions
The NC processor provides functions for-
implementation of all machining-strategies
combined cycles (eg pocketing - contouring)
automated generation of parametrised contours (eg keyholes ..)
macroprograms are user definable (ascii-text)
The numerical control processor is a macro program interpreter;
the macro programs are in the listing < base>/wc/*.mac.
Macro programs consist of ASCII texts to:
Implement any working strategy
Combined cycles (e.g. Vorschnitte, separation would re-cut)
Production of parametric outline parts (e.g. slotted hole.)
The data can be exported from the program by -
DXF export module
IGES export module
Standard - ISO - post processor
specialized export functions (user programs)
the system format APT3D (ASCII text format)
Inside the program the text data in the editor window i
stored and worked on.
The representation is generated exclusively from these text codes.
Analytic curves and surfaces (ellipses, Ruled and Revolved Surfaces) are always analytically worked on separately and NOT converted into Splines/NURBS, they are also stored/exported in this orignal form.
The program interface makes possible -
The creation and analysis of geometry Objects
interactive dialogue functions (selections..)
automatic compiling, link and reload at execution time
Detailed information in addition is in file xa/gCAD3D_prog.txt.
Automation:
gCAD3D
can load a model or start a plugin program at startup with the
appropriate starting
parameters.
See the file gCAD3D_prog.txt,
chapter
Startup.
Program start:
When the program starts a model
is read in automatically < base>tmp/Model. Submodels have the
file names
< base>tmp/Model_<submodelname >.
They can provide these files by arbitrary advance programs.
File < base>tmp/Model is provided on the program end automaticaly.
Div. pre-setting (print command, Browser) are read in from file <
base>/tmp/xa.rc.
The Font size can be changed in file < base>/xa/xa.rc.
Listings on e.g. with file/open zugegrifen are into the
file < base>/xa/dir.lst to register (Format:
"symbolic path
name/full path name /").
The interactive function in addition is Standards/Directories (write
right?)
The setup file for the Postscript export is <
base>/xa/psv.setup.
- Load a program (File / Open / sample1.dat, OK).
- END - Button:
The entire program, beginning in the first line, is processed up to the file end.
The geometry gets visualized. By use of the graphical functions (see further down) geometric details can be controlled.
- Scal.All - Button:
causes a reset of the viewscale and the viewcenter to be done.
With option
continue to shift, increase, turn.
This is a free version of gCAD3D.
- dimension, still no full Import/Export of dimensions, only partly
implemented.
- selecting of texts with fixed size is possible but only at the left
lower starting point.
- transformation of 3D-Text: into the XY level are not always set.
- CompositeCurves: Divide only via Modify/Curve >Circ or via Iges
export.
- NC: Numerical control working on are not transformed
graphically yet into the active reference system.
- NC functions for Submodels (numerical control
subroutines) not yet completely implemented follow,
- functions for the production of cut curves of surfaces not yet
implemented.
- design derivative 2D - > 3D not yet implemted.
- surface representation by edge curves and ISO lines (no:
Triangulation)
-with shadings no islands are possible
- the programming interfaces only partly documented.
If you like to contribute to further functions or to the
documentation then please send an Email to franz.reiter@cadcam.co.at.
Shift
of all geometric
objects is done with pushing the shift-key and moving the
mouse.
(Keep the shift-key pushed, do not push one of the
mousebuttons).
3D-Rotation
of all geometric
objects is done with ctrl-drag. Push the ctrl-key and move the
mouse.
Moving the mouse horizontally causes a rotation around the
Z-axis.
The center of the rotation always is in the the center of
the screen.
Moving the mouse vertically causes a tilting around a
horizontal line in the center of the screen.
See:
Determine the z-level of the turn
Scaling up / down
of all geometric objects is done with the control-key and the shift-key pushed while moving the mouse. Moving the mouse from left to the right causes scaling up.
Scal.All - Button:
Enlargement and representation center are optimized.
Scal.Fix - Button:
Stop a fixed, pre-defined
enlargement, according to the value MODSIZ (approximate maximum size of
the model). Default value is 300 mm.
Change MODSIZ to 10000 mm:
MODSIZ 10000
CLEAR - Button:
To the deletion of the entire diagram. Can now in the STEP - mode
individual objects be represented;
The currently active level for the interactive rotation is indicated
by a yellow rectangle.
Change through:
Selection of a vertex point as the new center (Vertices are
polygon points, all curves/circles are represented as polygons. Lines
however have only vertex points at endpoints). Or-
Input of the new z-value into the z-input field (apart from the output fields for the current cursor position, with Return lock) or:
select the new representation level:
Push that point, around which now is to be turned, exactly into the
screen center.
Checkbutton ViewZ activate.
Now option turn; the red point in the screen center becomes a chain of
points.
Now that red point select, which is appropriate for the desired fulcrum
next.
The representation level (recognizable by a yellow rectangle) is
shifted, the axis of rotation for the interactive rotation is shifted
into the defined level.
<> TopView - plan view (Option X-Y)
<>FrontView - side view (Option X-Y)
<>SideView - side view (Option X-Y)
<>AxoView - axis view
<>
Save/Restore
The program can be saved and restored from file if required.
Names:
Representation of the name texts of the elements; thus e.g. "P20".
Representation of the direction of all working on ways by directional
markers.
NC-Text:
Representation of the numerical control auxiliary functions (as
text)
at the respective positions.
E.g. all INSERT texts, are represented STOP....
Hide: arbitrary count becomes. Objects faded out.
View: only all momentarily faded out elements are indicated;
select
elements, which are to be represented again.
Read or save the active model in a file. The text indicated in
the Editor is stored.
A file can be inserted at the current cursor position.

1) with generate a command line an UNDO record created.
2) with the deletion of a line in the S/M mode a UNDO record is created.
Undo and Redo selects the UNDO record (a line in the table
on the top right; the highest line of this table corresponds to the
object deleted last).
Example:
- S/M/DEL select
- an object select
- key "Delete" deletes the object
- the last entry in the Undo list selected returns the object
- key "Esc" repeats the last Undo/Redo - function.
With Alt Esc (function Modify/APT Clean) all provisionally deleted
records (with "_" to begin) are removed.
These function descriptions are
not written at present.
All NC functions are available either in the menu
NC-Tech or also as direct COMMANDS.
The current control position is
indicated by a red selection line.
In the program execution the current position is always stored in the
point P0.
This point can be normally used; Example:

The current working plane can be defined in the 3D-Relm with the
help of a reference system. As soon as this is activated, all
2D-Coordinates defined are now transformed into this level.
The references system receive a number. Reference system No. 0 is the
centerline system and can not be defined/or changed.
Each reference system should only be defined once and then not be
changed again.
(this would cause errors with the EXPORT).
Example:

Line tangential at curve, turned. Point P10 is projected on the curve, put at this point a tangent to the curve. If a twisting angle is indicated, then the line (around the point of contact) is turned. ANG(90) results in thus a normal one from the point of contact.
L20=L(Start point terminator point)
L21=L(End point)
If the starting point is missing,
then the terminator point of the last P(), L() or C() is used -
definition.
Points here only with index "P20" or directly "xCoord yCoord [ zCoord
]"
Examples: L(P20 100 0 Z(10)) L(200 10)
Vectors use the identification letter D ("Direction").
Vectors are only temporarly represented; Standardized vectors (with
length 1) in black, otherwise red. Always in picture center.
As last parameters can with all vector
definition "REV" be indicated (vector is operated represented = written
undertaking).
As a last but one parameter can be indicated with all vector definition the vector length.
There are the following standard vectors:
DX DY DZ
correspond to the absolute direction
Definition vector by direction and
length.
D=D(dx, dy[, dz ]) [ length ] [ "REV" ]
Example:
D1=DX 100
D2=D(10 0)
D3=D(0.7 0 0.7) 100
D3=ANG(30) 100
Definition 2D-Vector by 2D-Angle
and vector length (optional).
The angle defines the direction in the XY level.
D4=ANG(90) ANG(30) 100
Definition vector by angles of
rotation, tilting angles and vector length (optional).
The
angle of rotation defines the twisting angle in the XY level; to 0
(degrees) corresponds thus to the x-direction, to 90 coresponds thus to
the
y-direction; 180 is the inverse x-direction.The tilting angle is that
angle, which the vector with the XY level includes.
All vectors with same tilting angle (with variable angle of rotation) form thus a cone around the Z-axis. The Z-axis has a tilting angle of 90 degrees (independent of the angle of rotation). In the example (90,30) the x axis 90 (around the Z-axis); the vector corresponds now to the old y axis the vector now in that level, which it includes now with the Z-axis, by 30 degrees is tilted upwards. Vectors with positive tilting angle lie in the positive z-semi-infinite space, vectors with negative tilting angle in the negative z-semi-infinite space.
D5=P1 P2
D5=P1 P2 100
Vector D5 as distance from P1 to P2. (length is optional).
D6=L10 100
Vector toward the line; (length is optional).
Normal vectors:
D=Circle
D=Plane
D=Point Point Point
D=Line Line
D=Line Point
D=Vector Line
D=Vector Point Point
(all additionally with length and "REV"
possible).
<><>Example:
<><><>D7=C10 100
# vector toward the Z-axis of circle C10, would be appropriate for 100
D7=R10 REV
# vector in the reverse direction of the
Z-axis of level R10.

v8=y(p2) |
the Y-coordinate of one point |
|
|
V1=PI*180 |
Pre-defined variables: Pi (3.1415) |
Number Variables are used indirectly by function VAL(); Example:
C10=P10 VAL(C5)
(the radius of the C5 is taken over).
Subroutines can be used for producing geometry elements and numerical
control working on ways.
MAC subroutine name
Beginning general subroutine. In the
subroutine can be accessed all variables. General subroutines are
dissolved for the Postproz.. Nesting level: to max 10 levels deep.
Subroutine name must consist of at least 2 letters, then numbers can
follow.
Geometry Elements are stored into the database, but are not indicated.
END
End general subroutine.
CALL subroutine name
Call general subroutine at the current position.
Note: the subroutine name must be unique also upper/lower case is
significant.
CALL "file name"
A subroutine in a file implement. The
subroutine is without MAC and ENDS to store. At present cannot be
branched out in such subroutines to a further subroutine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GEO subroutine name
Beginning geometry subroutine. The first
element is the starting line, then the outline, the last element of
this subroutine is the driving out line. Along the starting line the
correction is developed, diminished along the outline with correction
cut (G40, G41 or G42), along the driving out line the correction again.
Subroutine name must consist of at least 2 letters, then numbers can
follow.
In
the subroutine can be accessed all variables. Nesting level: to max 10
levels deeply. Geometry subroutines are put on for the post processor
as subroutines.
Within the geometry subroutines an outline with CON0 becomes - CONEND defines.
END
End to geometry subroutine.
WORK Working_on_type subroutine name [ parameter ]
Call geometry subroutine at the
momentary position. The initial
position is thus before with "RP.." od. to start "P1".
Outlines can be put down in subroutines (GEO) and called several times
with WORK.
Working on types:
CUT UP name [ parameter ]
REV UP name [ parameter ]
SEP_CUT UP name [ parameter ]
SEP_REV UP name [ parameter ]
POCK UP name
CUT_CIR UP name radius starting direction by-pass angle driving out
distance [ stop angle ]
POCK_CIR UP name Radius_aussen Radius_Bohrloch center
To pocket cycles see also POCKET instruction.
Parameter:
< angleworth > rotating. Directly indicate the angle.
reflect xmir around the x axis
reflect ymir around the y axis
Example; Macro S20 around X reflected, around 30 degrees turned at
the momentary position process. One reflects and one turns, then first
the reflection is implemented, then the turn.
work S20 30 XMIR
September _ are separation cuts (it an outline program is produced
automatically, which closes an open outline).
The position after the subroutine can be queried over the point P0 and
reused so later.
WORK Beabeitungtyp "file name"
Implement subroutine in a file .
The subroutine is without GEO and ENDS to store.
At present subroutines cannot be nested.
Example MAC:
MAC Kreis1
V2=V1*2
PRI "V2 =" V2
P1=V1 V2
END
V1 = 16
CALL Kreis1
V1 = 20
CALL Kreis1
PRI "P1 =" P1
Example GEO:
GEO Up1
PR 50 0
PR 0 50
END

|
jump label name |
Branch out, absolute branch instruction. |
:labelname |

There are the following conditions:
eq |
equal, |
ne |
not equal, |
lt |
less than, |
gt |

l_e |
less than or equal, |
g_e |
greater than or equal. |

:Next
pri "Var 20 =", v20
v20=v20+10
if v20 lt 55; jump NEXT
The current position can at any time over the point P0 queried
and to be again-used thus later.
T1
Tool change instruction (with tool number);
T0
the tool unload.
FROM FromPoint
Defines the indicated position as starting point of an outline
program. This instruction may only be defined once in the main program
and once in
each Geometry sub program. Example: "FROM 100.100" or"
FROM
P20 "
RP point
Rapid absolute - instruction for procedure with absolute positioning.
Representation: blue up, down red.
RPR x-distance, y-distance
Rapid relative - instruction for procedure relative.
P10
P(100 100)
Instruction for direct procedure over indication of coordinates or one
APT point.
PR xAbsolute, yAbsolute
Definition of a relative procedure distance.
A Endpoint Centerpoint < direction of rotation >
Definition circular arc, absolute. The circular arc begins at
the current position.
Standard direction of rotation is counter-clockwise direction (CCW)
ACRE Endpoint Centerpoint < direction of rotation >
Circular
arc with relative coordinate data. The circular arc begins at the
current position, terminator point and center relative to this
starting point is defined. beginning at the current position,
immediately one processes. Example:
ACRE -10 10 -10 0 CW
ACRE 10,10,0,10
Quarter circle (from 270 to 360 degrees) the counterclockwise.
