The MDS-Programmable Shape Machine can be
programmed from a PC, using either of two software
packages described below. Shapes can be created offline, and downloaded to the machine when required. A
cable is supplied to connect to the serial port of the PC.
1. PC Option / BUG-6140
This runs under Windows, and allows you to:
	 • Create shapes on the PC.
	 • 	Save any number of shapes to disk, and retrieve
 them as necessary.
	 • View a programmed shape on screen - which
	 	 helps program verification.
	 •	Download programmed shapes from the PC to
 the machine.
2. BUG-6240 CAD Interface
This is a complete package that includes both the
PC option and DeskCNC. This will allow you to take
2 dimensional CAD drawings and convert them to
Shape files that you can directly load into your shape
machine.
	 •	DeskCNC is used to modify 2 dimensional CAD
	 	 drawings (.DXF files) and create a toolpath
	 •	The toolpath is saved as a shape file using
 DeskCNC
	 •	The shape file can be loaded in the PC
