	Save drawing, 3-D DSTV-NC This function enables you to prepare HiCAD files for export to NC equipment. The NC Interface creates for each itemised part a NC file with the file name extension .NC. This file contains information such as attributes of the part, processings (maximum bore diameter, arcs etc.).The designation drawing_Pn is used as file name, with drawing being the name of the current drawing and n the item number of the corresponding part. Please note that only itemised parts can be exported.
	Production/NC, DSTV-BOM Creates a DSTV-BOM from your drawing.
	Production/NC, DSTV Product Use this function to export your drawing data via the DSTV product interface. You can exclusively exchange statics data via statics programs, such as information on joints or bar elements, or transfer the entire drawing including its sub-parts and processings.
	Production/NC, SDNF Saves the drawing data in SDNF format (Steel Detailing Neutral File).
	Production/NC, NCX Prepares your data for export to an an eine NCX machine.

Extensive information on interfaces is provided in the HiCAD Interfaces Online Help.
