CAD to CAM Part Transfer

• While transferring any design from Bend-Tech CAD to Dragon CAM, please follow the process below.

1. First, make sure that the parts you'd like to transfer are completed and selected in the correct manner.

From a single part designer: (i.e. Template, Custom Part, Custom 3D Part, Harpoon 3D, Sketch 2D, Sketch 3D, XYZ Part, Reverse Design.)

Simply make sure that your part was designed correctly and then click on the Transfer button at the top of screen and select the Dragon CAM option. There is no need to specifically select a part this way because there is only one. Assemblies are an exception because you must differentiate between which tubes you'd like to transfer.

From Assembly:

If you'd like a single part transferred from Assembly to Dragon CAM, you must first be in the Parts tab, then you will select the part from the list, click on the Transfer button at the top of screen and select the Dragon CAM option.

If you'd like the entire Assembly transferred to Dragon CAM, you must be anywhere in Assembly Except the Parts tab, then you will click on the Transfer button at the top of screen and select the Dragon CAM option.

In any case, after selecting the Dragon CAM option from the Transfer menu, the Dragon CAM software will open and a window will appear prompting you to apply a material available from Dragon and to designate which designer you would like to transfer these parts to.

2. Select material and destination for the part(s).

First, click on the Material for Imported Parts drop down menu and select the material that will be applied for the parts shown in the list. Note: If there is no matching material in the Dragon CAM software, you will be given the option to choose from any material that is available. If a material with a different OD is selected, the end cuts will be removed from the parts.
