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.

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

Does any still need the DSTV Standard? If so I have it in english.

For anyone who has looked through the pdf that eddypi posted, can you explain on page 10/23 under the FORMAT section
"s=>Dimensions reference axis"

I have the standard in PDF format with detailed information. If you can't get it here I can email it to any one. Send me an email at mrsonso@charte.net and request the file I will gladly send it.

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

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.
