    Does anyone have the format for a DSTV file (please!)?

    Know it's one type of standard file but I'm after a definition/the exact fields.

    Thank you.

    Question

    Hello,

    Does anyone know where can I find the DSTV file format specification?
    I'm planning to read some files that come out from XSteel (.NC1 file extension) and understand what each field inside this file represents.

    Regards,

    Fernando.

    Send me a copy please

    Hi there

    Has anyone found a copy of the DSTV specification in English yet? I'd love a copy if someone can send it to me. If the German one is still available I would appreciate that as I can get it translated if necessary.

    Thanks for any help.

    Regards

    Paul

    Do I have to enter the data in metric even though I am in the USA? I guess my real questions is, do machines used in America have metric or english input files?

    Thank You

    Metric

    DSTV is a german standard. All of Europe is in the metric system. I'm not an expert on all CNC machine but if I had to guess I say that any CNC machine that uses DSTV or reads DSTV files directly would have to be metric. I know that most of the mahines I have in our shop convert the DSTV file to be read in the specific machine code.

    Thank you for your input. I don't know if this is possible, but is there any way you could send me a drawing and the corresponding DSTV file. The part I am having trouble with is the different axis, and where they start and end. I have been having a heck of a time finding examples. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    My e-mail is [email protected]
