Software Setup, Errors, and General Questions Q: How do I upgrade from StyleCAD version 5.0 to 6.0? A: Updated to StyleCAD 6.0 from previous versions is quick and easy. Simply purchase the new software, and you will receive instructions for upgrading. Upgrades are fast, and very easy to accomplish even for a novice computer user. Q: Can StyleCAD import Gerber files? A: StyleCAD is able to import pattern blocks (Gerber terminology) from Gerber *.pce, *.tmp, *.mod files. A complete style may be imported from MOD files. The size list and grading data are imported. Q: Can StyleCAD import Lectra files? A: Yes, StyleCAD can import fully graded pattern data from IBA files and VET files. Each IBA file contains a single pattern and VET file is analogous to a style file in StyleCAD. Importing a style from a VET file is the simplest method. Q: Can StyleCAD import Yuka files? A: Yes, StyleCAD can import fully graded/seamed pattern data from PAN files. The user should make sure each pattern piece is closed. If the outline detection is having difficulty, assigning a different color to the pattern outline can yield a very reliable result. Q: I have system X. Can I import my files into StyleCAD? A: StyleCAD is capable of of reading several file types for import. These include DXF files, which can be generated by almost any CAD system, as well as system specific files such as Gerber and Lectra files. StyleCAD can also import patterns directly from cut files and plot files. Q: What types of DXF files does StyleCAD support? A: DXF pattern files generated by system X might not be the same as a DXF pattern file generated by system Y. StyleCAD can import many different DXF pattern file types, including AAMA DXF, Gerber DXF, Polynest DXF, PAD DXF, Lectra DXF, Asahi DXF, Optitex DXF, Tukatech DXF, Yuka DXF, Corel Draw DXF, AutoCAD DXF, and Assyst DXF format. Q: Can StyleCAD import Gerber files? A: StyleCAD is able to import pattern blocks (Gerber terminology) from Gerber *.pce files. The size list and grading data are also imported.
A: Yes. StyleCAD makes this an easy process so you can focus on working on the project, not spending precious time learning the underlying technologies. |
