gCAD3D has its own
import-/ export-programs,
integrated 3D-OpenGL-viewer,
programinterpreter for geometry and NC-commands in 3D,
integrated NC-processor.
programminginterface for userprograms (plugins)
The creation of geometrical elements / NC-programs can be done by -
interactive generated geometric objects or
manually generated commands or by the
importmodule (Step - Iges - dxf) or by the
Mockup-importmodule (Vrml-1 - obj ..) or by loading a
datafile created by program or by
special importprocessors (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
Functions for making documentations:
Display of 2D-draftings, 3D-models and images (bitmaps) in the same 3D-modelspace
drafts and models can be generated / modified dynamic
all graph. objects can be connected with interactions
Interactions can do:
call models (like HTML - HREF)
call programs (start plugins)
change the viewport
change modelparameter (dimensions ..)
The NC-processor provides functions for -
implementation of all machining-strategies
combined cycles (eg pocketing - contouring)
automated generation of parametrized contours (eg keyholes ..)
macroprograms are userdefinable (ascii-text)
Outputting data is done by the -
DXF exportmodule or
IGES exportmodule
standard - ISO - postprocessor
special exportprocessors (user-programs)
native format APT3D
The programminginterface offers -
creation and analysis of geometric objects
interactive dialogfunctions (selections ..)
automatic compile, link and reload at runtime (DLL's in C)
