DXF file import

Post by amitgolhani »

Hello,

Is there any way to import DWF/ DXF file in WinCC OA? I would like to use this functionality to import single line diagram of electrical system in WinCC OA project.

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Amit Golhani

Hello,

there is no possibility to load directly a DXF-file in WinCC OA.
If you want to insert the DXF-file as background picture of fill pattern for an object you can convert it into a graphics format which can read by WinCC OA.

Hi,

we made a customized dxf import. I presented a project on User Day 2010 in Vienna.
Please look at:

Hello Amit,

the CAD Converter enables to read DXF files with lines and polylines and convert it in PNL/XML files for WinCC OA.
A batch process enables the easy import of XML files. The result of the batch is one or more PNL/XML-Files.

But that's not all. With the CAD system (f. i. AutoCAD or ProgeCAD) you can give every line or polyline a name (i. e. "Cable_378").
This name will be set in the XML and PNL file.

Further our CAD converter enables the interpretation of different CAD layers. Each layer produces a separate XML/PNL-file.

Special shapes and layers of polylines enable the assignment to a special WinCCOA object. A panel reference to the special WinCC OA object will be created. Dollar parameters enables to set the name/data from the CAD file into the WinCC OA object.

The CAD converter can/must be adapted to your special requirements. As a result you have finished PNL files - no manual work required!

Please send me your requirements and maybe an CAD example by mail.

Best regards
