  Laser Cutting Tutorial

  Laser Tutorial Overview and AimsThis Tutorial is designed to
  give the newcomer to cncKada quick and easy start withthe program,
  while teaching the use of some of the most common commands. The

  exercises are set out so that the user may work with the program
  in conjunction withthis book.

  The exercises are of varying difficulty, each one designed to
  teach the new user adifferent aspect of the program — various
  drafting techniques as well as utilizing lasercutting technology.
  Each exercise is accompanied by detailed steps that allow a newuser
  to create and learn everything from the easiest to the most
  complicatedprocedures within the program.

  Having completed the exercises in this book you will be able to
  successfully drawand cut your own sheet metal parts, using many of
  the commands in cncKad. Youwill be able to take the geometry and
  cuts and create a working NC program that canbe sent to your
  machine.

  This Tutorial should be used in conjunction with the cncKad
  Drafting & NestingManualand the cncKad Laser Manual. Working
  with these manuals will give you theultimate reference and teaching
  tool.

  How to use this Tutorial

  The first page of each chapter shows the part we will create
  during the exercise.Throughout the exercise you will find tips that
  will help you create the draft and thencut it. These tips will be
  denoted by the sign, e.g.:

  The Shapescommands are quick and easy methods for building

  different contours that are typical to the sheet metal
  industries.

  You may want to try creating these parts before looking at the
  following pages for thedetailed explanation and part creation
  steps.

  This book is written for work in conjunction with version 8 of
  cncKad. If you have the

  DOS version of cncKad please refer to the appropriate books.If
  you have a different version of cncKad Windows, while most of the
  exercises andcommands are compatible, you may find slight
  discrepancies between thecommands and the procedures as listed here
  and your software. If such a case,please consult the user manual
  that came with your copy of the program or theupdate pamphlet.

  A brief explanation about Cl icking

  When working with cncKad, it is important to remember that the
  basic unit of draftingis the Entity.

  An Entity can be a Line, an Arc, a Circle or a Point.

  As you create parts, you will often need to choose a specific
  Entity or processing

  definition for manipulation.When you click your mouse to choose
  a specific Entity, it is imperative you rememberthat cncKad uses
  the following rules to interpret your action:

  1. Which Entity has been chosen?

  2. Which Endpoint of the entity has been chosen? (lines and arcs
  have 2Endpoints)

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  8/50

  cncKad

  8

  3. Which Side of the Entity has been chosen?1

  The following example illustrates this interpretation
  process:

  When selecting a processing definition, you must still select
  the Entity

  associated with this definition.

  LineAhas been cut; if you wish to manipulate this processing
  (e.g. change CuttingSpeed), you can click on points 1or 2, but NOT
  on 3, 4or 5.

  1When clicking on an Entity that is in a closed Contour, your
  click represents a choice of

  InsideOutside for this Contour.

  1 Exercise 1 Basic Drafting and Cutting

  1.1 OverviewThe aim of this first exercise is to give you the
  ability to open a new file in cncKad,create a basic drawing, place
  cuts on the drawing and simulate the NC code created

  from the geometry.In this exercise we will be creating the
  following part:

  1.1.1 What you wil l learn in this exercise:

  1. Opening a new part file.

  2. Selecting the active machine for a workstation.3. Placing
  shapes and holes on the part.

  4. Creating inner rectangle.

  5. Creating fillets.

  6. Running geometry checks.

  7. Saving a part.

  8. Adding laser cuts.

  9. Defining the sheet size.

  10. Generating NC code.

  11. Simulating the NC.

  1.1.2 Tips

  When the new drawing is opened a rectangle is created this will
  be thebasis for drawing the part.

  The bottom left corner of the draft is placed at coordinate
  position X=0, Y=0.

  You can position the shapes and circles using absolute
  coordinates.

  You can use Help Linesto find a position on the part.

  1.2 Creating a New Part

  1. Double click on the cncKadIcon to open cncKad.

  2. From the Filemenu (at the top of the screen) select the New
  => New Part

  option, or click the New PartButton from the Standardtoolbar.
  Thefollowing dialog will be displayed.

  The procedure for opening new files in cncKadis the same as
  for

  opening any new file in Windows programs — press the Ctrl+N

  combination on your Keyboard.

  3. In the File Namebox type Exer1 instead of Part1. You can do
  this bydouble-clicking on the name «Part1» and then typing-in the
  new name. Whenyou are done, click on the Savebutton.

  4. The following dialog will now be displayed:

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  11/50

  Laser Cutting Tutorial

  11

  Remember that you define the size of the part when you open a
  new part

  and not the size of the sheet.

  If you make a mistake while typing the values — use the
  Backspace key to

  erase the value and retype it, and the Tab key to move between
  fields.

  5. This dialog allows you to define the part Size, sheet
  Material and Thickness.In Part Size, set the Xsize to 300and Ysize
  to 200.

  6. Select a material from the drop-down list and define the
  thickness as 1mm.Leave all the rest of the options at their
  defaults. For the time being we willnot fill out the User Data
  options, so just click on the OKbutton to confirmyour part
  definitions.

  The User Data tab allows the user to associate certain
  information with

  the part, for instance — Order Number, Drawing Name, Revisions,
  and

  Notes. This information can then be inserted in the Report
  File.

  7. A white rectangle of the defined size will appear on the
  screen.

  1.3 Selecting the Active Machine ModelIt often happens that a
  workstation supports more than one machine model, forexample one
  (or more) for laser cutting and one (or more) for punching.

  Before beginning to draft the part, we should make sure that we
  are working on alaser cutting machine.

  To select the machine model that will be the active one:

  1. Click on the Machine button at the left side of the cncKad
  window.

  2. A list will open with the models that are installed on this
  workstation, with theactive one marked by a check mark:

  3. To change the active machine, simply click on the one you
  want.

  1.4 Positioning Holes with Help LinesIn this stage we will be
  placing holes on the drawing and positioning them bysnapping them
  to intersections of the Help Lines.

  We will place these Help Lines on the drawing in order to enable
  the exactpositioning of the holes.

  Help Lines are always displayed as green lines that cross the
  entire

  extent of the screen.

  Any position can be located by entering the absolute coordinate,
  but

  sometimes it is easier to use Help Lines to find the
  position.

  1. From the Help Linestoolbar click the

  Parallel Help-Line by Distance button.

  2. In the dialog that appears define a distance of 50and click
  on the OKbutton.

  3. Position the Help Line by clicking the mouse on the inner
  side of the leftvertical line.

  4. Repeat this for the right vertical line.

  5. Press the Space bar and re-define the parallel distance as
  30. Click the OKbutton to close the dialog.

  6. Click the bottom horizontal line on its inner side, and then
  click the tophorizontal line on its inner side. The result should
  be as shown below:

  button at the top left of the screen, and selecting the Snap
  position from

  the menu e.g. Endpoint, Center, and Intersection etc.

  Unless defined otherwise a help line will automatically «snap»
  to the

  nearest snap point. This can be an endpoint of a line, a center
  of a circle

  or line and an intersection between two entities.

  10. Position the cursor near the intersection of the help lines
  and click the mouse.

  The circle will snap to the intersection. Repeat this for the
  other three holes.

  11. From the Delete toolbar click theDelete Help-Linesbutton

  .

  12. The Select Optiontoolbar will open. ClicktheAbutton (or
  press the letter A on your keyboard) and press Entertoconfirm the
  selection.

  13. Press Esc and clean the screen by clicking on the Redraw
  button (or

  press F2). The part should appear as shown below:

  1.5 Creating the Inner RectangleIn this stage we will be
  creating a rectangle by using the help lines to define therectangle
  corners. We will then draw a line by snapping to the intersections
  of thehelp lines. There are also other methods for creating
  rectangles — for instance youcould use the Shapes options.

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  14/50

  cncKad

  14

  The Shapes commands allow you to build certain shapes
  parametrically,

  i.e. you define the dimensions and orientation of the shapes,
  and to place

  them on the drawing.

  There are eleven types of shapes available (from the
  Shapestoolbar or

  from the Draw=> Shapesmenu) —

  o

  RectangleoOval

  oSingle-D

  oDouble-D

  1. From the Help Lines toolbar click on the Vertical Help
  Linebutton .

  2. Click the cursor on the bottom horizontal line, near the
  middle of the line. Agreen, vertical help line will be placed
  through the midpoint of this line.

  3. From the same toolbar click on the Horizontal Help Linebutton
  .

  4. Now click the left vertical line near the midpoint. The part
  should now besimilar to the drawing shown below.

  5. From the Help Lines toolbar select the Parallel Help Line by
  Distancebutton

  . The distance dialog box will appear, enter a value of 100and
  click onthe OKbutton.

  6. Click the vertical help line on either its left or right
  side. A new help line will beplaced 100mm from the original
  vertical help line.

  7. Click the other side of the (vertical) center help line.
  There should now bethree vertical help lines with a 100mm distance
  between each of them.

  8. Click on the Parallel Help-Line by Distancebutton again and
  re-enter thevalue as 50. Click the OKbutton, and click the
  horizontal help line once oneach side. Now the part should be as on

  9. Click the Line, Auto-Snapbutton from the Shapes Toolbar.

  The Line, Auto Snapcommand automatically snaps the cursor to
  the

  nearest Snap position. There is no need to place the cursor
  exactly at the

  desired position. The start and endpoint of the lines will be
  placed at the

  closest snapping positions.The Line, Auto Snapoption is a quick
  and accurate way of snapping to

  intersections created by the help lines.

  The user can define any snap position as the default by clicking
  on the

  Snapbutton at the top left of the screen, and selecting the snap
  position

  from the menu i.e. Endpoint, Center, Intersectionetc.

  1.6 Filleting ContoursIn this stage we will be placing fillet
  radii on the outer and inner contours.

  1. From the Edittoolbar click the Filletbutton .The following
  menu will appear:

  The Fillet menu gives you the options of creating one single
  fillet on a

  corner, or of creating the same fillet radius on every corner
  making up a

  closed contour, or of creating fillet radiuses on every corner
  of the part.

  2. Select the second option the Contourcommand.

  3. Click the inner rectangle on one of its lines. When asked if
  «OK to filletselected contour «, press the Yesbutton.

  4. TheRadius Definit iondialog will be displayed. Define a
  radius of 10and

  click the OKbutton. The inner contour will be filleted on all
  four corners.5. Click the outer contour. The contour will be
  highlighted and you will be asked

  again if this is the correct contour, click on the Yesbutton.
  Define a radius of20and click on the OKbutton. The outer contour
  will be filleted.

  6. The part should now be as shown below:

  1.7 Geometry ChecksWe will now check the part for any errors or
  problems.

  It is important to execute these checks before entering the
  cutting stage, so thatcncKadwill be able to recognize the part
  correctly.

  These checks not only verify the legality of the existing
  geometry, but also repair it, ifneeded you can choose to delete
  duplicate entities (e.g. Circles placed on top of

  each other), join all the breaks in the geometry, examine the
  part to see if all thecontours are connected properly.

  1. From the Viewmenu (at the top of the screen) select the
  Checkoption, or

  click the Checkbutton .

  2. The dialog, as shown below, will be displayed. Make sure that
  the options areset as shown:

  3. Press the OKbutton, to execute the checks. If there are any
  gaps in contoursbigger than 1mm, the examination process will stop,
  a red Xwill be placed atthat position and you will be allowed to
  press Enter to continue with thechecks.

  Gaps in the contours that are smaller than 1mm will be
  repaired

  automatically. The size of the repaired gap can be set by
  editing the

  Connect Tolerancefield.

  1.8 Saving the PartIt is important to save your part after each
  important change you make, so that youwill not loose a lot of work
  if there is a problem. To do this, select the Savebutton

  from the Filetoolbar.

  You can also do this by pressing the Ctrl+Skey combination on
  your

  Keyboard.

  If you want to change the parts name select Save Asfrom the
  Filemenu. Thefollowing dialog will appear:

  Type-in a new name for the file and click the Savebutton. The
  dialog will disappearand the part will be saved under the new
  name.

  1.9 Cutting the PartThe parts drawing is now complete, and it is
  time to cut it.

  piercinggraphic:

  1.10 Defining the Sheet SizeWe will now define the size of the
  sheet, the number of parts that fit on it and theoffsets of the
  actual parts from the sheets edges.

  When defining a sheet size, cncKad will attempt to fit in as
  many part

  copies as possible. These copies are called «multiple parts».
  The amount

  of parts that fit on the sheet is displayed in the Number of
  Partsfields,below the Sheet Sizedefinition fields.

  1. Click the Set Sheet and Clampsbutton from the Commontoolbar
  (youcan also access this dialog from the CAMmenu).

  4 Exercise 4 — Advanced Cutting Definitions

  4.1 OverviewIn this exercise we will go over some of the options
  you can use to set the way partsare cut.

  4.1.1 What you wil l learn in this exercise:

  1. What Cutting Tables are

  2. How Cutting Tables relate to Sheet Material and Thickness

  3. Corner Treatment

  4. Point marking

  4.2 Cutting a Previously Cut PartIn this chapter we will often
  re-cut our part, to see the different treatments available.

  To begin with, open the part we created in the previous chapter
  and run Auto Cut onit.

  When we want to re-cut a part, we have two options: Deleting the
  previous cuts and cutting again.

  Running Auto Cut and thereby automatically replacing the
  cuts.

  4.2.1 Deleting Cuts

  To delete a cutting definition from an Entity, simply click the
  Delete CAMsbuttonon the Deletetoolbar, and use the Selection
  options to select one, some, or all thecuts on the part.

  4.2.2 Replacing Cutting Definitions with Auto Cut

  We can also runAuto Cut and have it automatically replace
  existing cutting

  definitions.To do this, we must enable the Delete old before
  runn ingoptions in the Auto Cut

  dialog — .

  Note that there are two of these options:

  In the Holessection this will affect only the holes in a
  part.

  In the Partssection this will affect the contours of parts.

  4.3 What Are Cutting TablesCutting Tables are charts that cover
  all aspects of cutting a material which Gas touse, what the Feed
  Rate is, the Approach and Exit definitions for different
  sizedEntities, how to pierce the material and many other
  parameters.

  These Tables are specific for both material typeand thickness
  the table forAluminum 1mm is different from the one for Steel 1mm,
  but also from the one forAluminum 5mm.

  Also, the Tables are specific for machines the Tables for Trumpf
  are different thanthe ones for Amada or Bystronic.

  cncKad comes with standard Tables appropriate for the machine
  model

  you installed, but in any case where these clash with the
  definitions from

  your machines manufacturers recommendations you should
  follow

  these recommendations.

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  43/50

  Laser Cutting Tutorial

  43

  Because the Cutting Tables are machine-specific, we will not
  give any in-depthexamples.

  Once you are familiar with your machine and the manufacturer

  recommendations you may wish to study this matter on our
  own.

  To view the Tables, click the Cutting Tablebutton from the Cut
  toolbar —

  .

  A dialog will open, showing data such as the following:

  As discussed before these tables are machine-specific, Trumpf
  6030 in

  this case, so your tables may show different values.

  Try changing the Thickness, and note that the parameters in the
  chart at the bottomchange for each value, and the same if you
  change the Gas, Heador Lens(if youhave more than one value
  available for these).

  For now, set the Material to Steeland the Thicknessto 2, and
  close the dialog.

  4.3.1 Cutting Tables Example

  We will now see an example of how the Cutting Tables affect the
  cuts placed on apart.

  1. Click the Set Sheet and Clampsbutton to open the dialog, go
  to theSheettab and set the Material Listto 0 Steel with Sheet
  Thicknessas 2(or a close value).

  At this point you can also set the Sheet Size.

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  44/50

  cncKad

  44

  2. Open the Cutting Table the Cutting Tableby clicking on
  thebutton , go tothe Geometrytab, and note theApproach Path Min/Max
  parameters:

  As noted before this table is machine-specific, Trumpf 6030 in
  this case.

  3. Close this dialog and runAuto Cut . Make sure that all the
  options called UseTechnology Tableare enabled.

  4. If your table is close to mine, the square holes in the array
  will be cut in thefollowing manner:

  5. The entry to the cut was made just beside the hole’s center
  point (the white X,which is 5mm from the holes edge). Note in the
  Table above that theApproach Path Maximum is set as4.5for the
  Largecategory.

  6. Now, open the Set Sheet and Clampsdialog, set the Sheet
  Thicknessas 6(or a close value), close this dialog and re-open the
  Cutting Table.

  7. The Geometry table has changed, and now theApproach Path
  Maximum isset as6.5for the Largecategory:

  8. Close this dialog and runAuto Cut . Now the square holes are
  cut like this:

  9. You can tell from its position relative to the holes center
  that the Entry is nowlonger than before, as per the parameters in
  the Table.

  This is a simple example of the way the Cutting Tables affect
  the way a part is cut.

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  45/50

  Laser Cutting Tutorial

  As mentioned before, each machine manufacturer provides
  different

  recommendations for these tables to allow for the machines
  attributes,

  and unless you are sure they are inadequate you should follow
  these

  recommendations.

  4.4 Corner Treatment

  Cutting corners is often problematic they can be easily damaged
  without carefulhandling, leading to scrapping the entire part.

  cncKad has several strategies to handle this problem, of which
  we will review three.

  Rounding

  Slowing

  Loops

  Before we discuss strategies, we must understand the concept of
  Max Angle, andthe role of the Global Cuttab in the Set Sheet and
  Clampsdialog.

  4.4.1 Max Angle

  When we look at the corners of a part, the way we want to cut
  them often depends

  on a corners angle an acute angle will require special
  treatment, while an obtuseone can be left alone.

  The Max Angleparameter defines the maximum angle that a corner
  can have sothat it will be subject to treatment.

  For example:

  In our part we have two types of angles:

  Straight angles —

  Obtuse ones —

  If we set the Max Angle as 90, only the straight (and smaller)
  angles will be affected,

  while those with an angle greater than 90 will be left
  unaffected.

  4.5 The Global Cut Tab

  To get to this tab, click the Set Sheet and Clampsbutton .

  The definitions in this tab set an overall (i.e. global) cutting
  strategy for the sheet onwhich you are currently working.

  This means that any definitions you set for the current part
  will not be

  saved for the next part you create.

  For now, set the Max Ang leto 90, make sure all
  theActivecheckboxes are notenabled, and close the dialog.

  4.6 Rounding CornersRunAuto Cut with the following settings:

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  46/50

  cncKad

  46

  Make sure that in the Corner Treatmentsection, the Use
  Technology Tableoption

  is not enabled, and that the Delete old before running options
  are indeed enabled.Now zoom-in to corners of the part, and they
  should look as follows:

  The Bend Relief The Notch outer corners The Chamfered
  corners

  If your corners look like this:

  Toggle the Full Cut Tool Widthoption in the Viewmenu. You can
  also

  use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+B.

  We will now add Rounding to the corners. OpenAuto Cut again, go
  to the GlobalCut tab and set the parameters as follows:

  Max Angle 90

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  47/50

  Laser Cutting Tutorial

  47

  Rounding,Active enabled

  Rounding, Size 0.5

  RunAuto Cut again, and look at the corners:

  The Bend Relief The Notch outer corners The square holes
  corners

  Note that in each case the cutting line is an arc instead of a
  straight angle.

  4.7 SlowingThis time we will use the Slowing strategy to process
  the corners.

  OpenAuto Cut again, go to the Global Cuttab and set the
  parameters as follows:

  Max Angle 90

  Rounding,Active disabled

  Slow,Active enabled

  Slow, Distance Before Corner 8

  Slow, Distance After Corner 5

  Slow, Under Radius 0

  RunAuto Cut again.

  In order to see the difference in the speed of the cut, toggle
  the Colored Tool Pathby Speedoption in the Viewmenu.

  After you enable the coloring, the regular speed cuts are
  colored yellow, while theslow ones are orange:

  To see this more clearly, toggle the Full Cut Tool
  Widthoption.

  Note that the Chamfered corners are still cut with the regular
  speed.

  Re-openAuto Cut , go to the Global Cuttab, set the Max Angleto
  160, and re-cutthe part.

  Now the Chamfers obtuse angles (153 and 115) are included in the
  angle valuegoverning the Slow processing:

  4.8 Using LoopsWe will now see two ways to set individual corner
  processing parameters:

  Selecting a corner and then setting parameters for it (click
  then set).

  Setting parameters and then selecting one or more corners (set
  then click).

• 7/25/2019 cnc kad user manual

  48/50

  cncKad

  48

  The procedure we will use for using the Corner Parametersdialog
  to

  create Loops can also be used for defining the other cutting
  strategies for

  corners Slowing, Cooling and Rounding.

  4.8.1 Editing Corner Parameters

  1. Click the Edit Corner Parametersbutton from the Cut
  toolbar.2. Now you must select a corner. Click the bottom left
  corner, and the Corner

  Parameters dialog will open.

  3. In the Loopssection, select Yesfrom theActivedrop-down menu,
  set Sizeto 3 and click OK.

  4. Zoom-in to this corner and note the loop that was added on
  it.

  Note that the Slow cutting definition has been removed from this
  corner

  no need for slowing when you are cutting the loop.

  You can now click on a different corner and set the parameters
  for it, but we will notdo this at this point.

  4.8.2 Setting Corner Parameters

  1. Click the Set Corner Parametersbutton from the Cut
  toolbar.

  2. The Corner Parametersdialog opens immediately; In the
  Loopssection,select Yesfrom theActivedrop-down menu, set Sizeto
  2and click OKandthe dialog will close.

  3. Click on the left corner of the rectangular notch at the
  bottom, and a loop willbe added on it.

  4. Click on this notchs other corner, and again a loop will be
  added to thecorner.

  4.9 Point MarkingAs you will recall, we put a 0.30hole on the
  part. Zoom-in to this hole and look how it

  has been cut.

  As you can see, it is marked in blue. This means that it will be
  engraved, instead ofbeing cut.

  1. The reason that this particular hole has been marked in this
  way is becauseof its size: Open the Cutting Table, go to the
  Geometrytab.

  2. Note the Min Diametervalue for the first entry. Anything
  below this diameteris considered an Undersized Hole.

  3. Now, open theAuto Cutdialog and go to the Technologytab. Here
  you willfind an item calledAction for undersized holes , with a
  drop-down menu toselect the action.

  4.9.1 Options for Marking

  By default, the undersized hole was marked with a point, but you
  can define foryourself what kind of Marking will be used.

  Click the Set Sheet and Clampsbutton and go to the Cutting
  Parameterstab,and find the section called Point Marking.

  Here you can select the Marking type and its size:

  4.10 SummaryIn this chapter we have gone over some of the ways
  in which you can define the wayyour part will be cut. We have seen
  ways to do this on three levels:

  For the entire workstation the Cutting Technology Table.

  For an entire part from the Set Sheet and Clampsdialog.

  For specific items in a part individual corner treatment.

  This three-tier system is often found in cncKad, because some
  definitions you wantto be permanent, some just for the current
  part, and other for individual items in thecurrent part.

  Whenever you change a definition, it is important to be sure you
  are working at thecorrect level dont change workstation definitions
  when all you want is a small

  correction on a part.

Приветствуем Вас на файлообменнике WdFiles.ru!

Ресурс WDfiles.RU был задуман как бесплатный файлообменник. Согласитесь, удобно с его помощью делиться файлами, или перемещать их с одного устройства на другое!

Всем спасибо за использование нашего ресурса!

Преимущества:

Сегодня мы рассмотрим еще один полезный инструмент Metalix cncKad. Представьте себе, если  бы ваша CAD-система могла автоматически определять толщину детали, материал и ее количество из текста, который нанесен на эту деталь. В Metalix cncKad есть такая возможность благодаря использованию префикса.

Префикс — это некий текст, по которому Metalix cncKad определяет толщину детали, материал и ее количество. Правила форматирования очень просты. Символы которые находятся до знака равенства являются префиксом, а символы которые находятся после знака равенства явяляются значение этого префикса.

Рассмотрим пример:

Tks=1.0 Mat=Aluminium_5052 Q=100

Tks является префиксом толщины металла, Mat — префиксом материала, Q — количество деталей.

Назначается префикс в настройках импорта (вкладка «Текстовые параметры»). Префикс можно задать для материала, толщины, количества, номера чертежа, заказчика и проекта.

Один раз потратив время на настройку своей CAD-системы на включение текста с префиксами в DXF-файлы, вам не придется в последствии тратить время на назначение каждой детали толщины, материала и количества.

Это отличная возможность систематизировать базу данных деталей для максимального сокращения затрачиваемого времени на подготовку программ для лазерного раскроя. Рекомендуем использовать назначение параметров деталей в качестве правила для оформления внутренней конструкторской документации и для сторонней документации, получаемой при оказании услуг другим компаниям.
