Fill in all the required data for the drill event and Click Event. All the geometry should now be a
color green, which means we are ready to return back to regular ProtoTRAK operation.
Click Event again to get back to the full screen view of the geometry and the Select Event
prompt. Now all the interior features of the part should be green and the periphery white.
You may want to save the program under a different name after it has been converted. In the
Program In/Out Mode, press Save. The file will be the same name, unless you change it, but the
extension (shown in SAVE AS) will now be PT4. You can also change the file name in the
Program Mode.
4.10 Creating a DXF File from a ProtoTRAK Program
When you have a program in the current memory of your ProtoTRAK control, you can save the
program geometry as a DXF file. The DXF file can then be transferred to a CAD system to note
any shop floor changes made, or as a reverse engineering tool.
