Reply with QuoteUnfortunately, it's been about 8 years since I've worked with a beam saw and used CPOUT files.
I'm not sure if they can contain grooving info. We used to use Cut Planner, which didn't support grooving.
CPOUT File format
Does anyone have an example CPOUT file they could send me? Or someplace where I can find the full spec? Can the CPOUT format support the grooving option that my panel saw has?
The only reference I could find to the spec for the cpout file format is at CPOUT . Which I haven't found to be very helpful without a working example to reference.
I have a Selco Panel Saw running their OSI interface, and I have written a small program that exports a specialized cut list to the xml format that OSI can read into it's optimizer function. However it isn't the best work flow and I would like to just output the cutting programs directly and remove a layer of indirection. My attempts to write the native OSI xml format has failed because I can't decode the value of an attribute called Chk. Without this the programs import into OSI but cannot be run. OSI supports importing CPOUT files and I had assumed they would be better documented as they seem to be the standard interchange format for cnc panel saws. However I have been unable to find much information about the format.
Any help would be appreciated!
