2D-CAD Specifications
Specifications for Graphics Data
  • In order to reduce the volume of graphics data, some detailed parts have been simplified.
  • External dimensions and mounting-hole dimensions are indicated.
  • The mounting reference position is indicated in front-view diagrams by a dot of radius 0.5 (coordinates (0, 0)).
  • Different colors are used for the product exterior, dimensions, and centerlines.
  • Mounting holes and panel cutouts are shown with the actual dimensions (only for products that appear in general catalogs).
  • Optical axes are indicated with phantom lines (e.g., in photo-microsensors, and other sensors).
  • Operating parts are indicated in color with phantom lines.
  • All text is in English.
    • AutoCAD R12J and DXF data for products added in or after April 1999 are available in layered format. Note that the two types of specifications are used together. For details on specifications, refer to the method for using the corresponding type of data.

    Information related to the product's external dimensions and panel cutouts is provided.
    Note that the dimensions given for displays and keys in the data are hypothetical.

    AutoCAD R12J File Data
    Products for the Period Up To the End of March 1999
  • CAD graphics are based on a scale of 1:1.
  • The graphics data contains the minimum required amount of information, such as outlines, centerlines, mounting holes, external dimensions, and mounting dimensions.
  • All graphics data is input in image layer 0.
  • Colors are used in the way shown in the following table.
    • [Item] [Color]
    Product white
    Centerlines and fine lines yellow
    Dimensions and text cyan
    Metal fixtures and operating parts green
  • The file name extension is "*.DWG".
  • The data is created with the R12J version of AutoCAD.
    • Products for the Period from the Beginning of April 1999
  • CAD graphics are based on a scale of 1:1.
  • The graphics data contains the minimum required amount of information, such as outlines, centerlines, mounting holes, external dimensions, and mounting dimensions.
  • Colors are used in the way shown in the following table.
    • [Item] [Name of image layer] [Color of image layer] [Line setting]
    Outlines Z_OM_GAIKEI white CONTINUOUS
    Outlines (mounting holes) Z_OM_MOUNT white CONTINUOUS
    Dimension lines and dimension values Z_OM_SUNPO cyan CONTINUOUS
    Centerlines Z_OM_CENTER yellow CENTER
    File names, mounting-bracket model numbers Z_OM_NOTE cyan CONTINUOUS
    Operating parts, imaginary lines Z_OM_PHANTOM green PHANTOM
    Hidden lines Z_OM_DASHED yellow DASHED
    Mounting brackets Z_OM_BRACKET green CONTINUOUS
  • Lines are colored using BYLAYRE.
  • The file name extension is "*.DWG".
  • The data is created with the R12J version of AutoCAD.

    Precautions for Use
  • Black is used as the background color in DWG-format CAD data. When AutoCAD LT is used for the first time after installation, the background color is set to white. Please change it to black using the following procedure before viewing the data.
    Select Command line; preferences, click the Color tab in the dialog box, select Window Element and set Background color of graphic windows to Black.
  • The words "LAYERED DRAWINGS" appear under the file name for graphics data created using layer specifications.
  • When using layered DWG data, CAD-data image layers are added to design drawings. Customers managing image layers must either first change the specifications of the CAD data before use or change the specifications after pasting it to the design drawing.
  • Method for Changing Specifications
    • [Changing the Names or Colors of Image Layers or Changing Line Settings]
    1. Select the image layer object to be changed.
    2. Select Command line; ddchprop (changing object) to display a dialog box.
    3. Select the image layer name, image layer color, or line setting allocated to that object.
  • The file name extension is "*.DWG".
  • The data is created with the R12J version of AutoCAD.

    DXF File Data
    Products for the Period Up To the End of March 1999
  • DXF file data is created by converting DWG file data created with the R12J version of AutoCAD to DXF format.
  • CAD graphics are based on a scale of 1:1.
  • The graphics data contains the minimum required amount of information, such as outlines, centerlines, mounting holes, external dimensions, and mounting dimensions. In addition, the data contains only simple elements, such as points, line segments, circles, circular arcs, elliptical arcs, and text, to allow use with various types of CAD software.
  • When the AutoCAD data is created, colors are used in the way shown in the following table.
    • [Item] [Color]
    Product white
    Centerlines and fine lines yellow
    Dimensions and text cyan
    Metal fixtures and operating parts green
  • The file name extension is "*.DWG".
  • The data is created with the R12J version of AutoCAD.
    • Products for the Period from the Beginning of April 1999
  • DXF file data is created by converting DWG file data created with the R12J version of AutoCAD to DXF format.
  • CAD graphics are based on a scale of 1:1.
  • The graphics data contains the minimum required amount of information, such as outlines, centerlines, mounting holes, external dimensions, and mounting dimensions. In addition, the data contains only simple elements, such as points, line segments, circles, circular arcs, elliptical arcs, and text, to allow use with various types of CAD software.
  • When the AutoCAD data is created, the settings for the graphics data are as shown in the following table.
    • [Item] [Name of image layer] [Color of image layer] [Line setting]
    Outlines Z_OM_GAIKEI white CONTINUOUS
    Outlines (mounting holes) Z_OM_MOUNT white CONTINUOUS
    Dimension lines and dimension values Z_OM_SUNPO cyan CONTINUOUS
    Centerlines Z_OM_CENTER yellow CENTER
    File names, mounting-bracket model numbers Z_OM_NOTE cyan CONTINUOUS
    Operating parts, imaginary lines Z_OM_PHANTOM green PHANTOM
    Hidden lines Z_OM_DASHED yellow DASHED
    Mounting brackets Z_OM_BRACKET green CONTINUOUS
  • Lines are colored using BYLAYER.
  • Manipulate the drawings as required using your CAD system.
  • The file name extension is "*.DXF".

    Precautions for Use
  • The words "LAYERED DRAWINGS" appear under the file name of graphics data created using layer specifications.
  • Viewing may not be possible due to differences in DXF versions. In this case, after confirming the version of the DXF converter for your CAD software, contact the CAD Data File Help Desk.
  • Depending on your CAD software, the DXF conversion table may be different and so the following may occur.
    • The shape of dimension lines and arrows change.
    Text is output with a different font.
    Curved lines and phantom lines are not output properly.
    Please confirm the dimensions and notes given in our general catalogs before use.
