			== In format Excellon ==


			First the milling path needs to be calculated:<br><br>

			[[image: fraeswege_berechnen_def.jpg]]<br>Image: Calculated milling paths. Here: Outline, square breakout, and a D-breakout green. Radius correction is already done.

			Now select menu '''File/Input-Output formats/Production/Mill Front Panel (Excellon)''' and define the position of the whole panel within the operating space.

			Please note: You need to do radius correction later with your CAM-Software. By DXF and HPGL only the edges itself are put out. The center of the milling tool later needs to run right- or left beside.

'''You have a milling machine and wish to mill a frontpanel yourself?'''

TARGET 3001! offers a DXF export and an HPGL generic export. After you have created your frontpanel file in TARGET 3001! please have a look in menu '''File/Input / Output Formats'''.

== In format DXF ==

If you draw a frontpanel in TARGET 3001! you can export this project in format *.dxf. This is a common format for NC use.

[[File:frontpanelDXF1_e.jpg]] 

This menu entry opens a dialog in order to choose which kind of project you'd like to create.

[[File:frontpanelDXF2_e.jpg]] 

The extension button [[File:extension.jpg]] in the dialog line "Output DXF" allows to select a directory to which the DXF data shall be generated. 

== In format HPGL ==

The following images show the handling for the Generic HPGL output.
