       Procedure for DXF import in TPACAD
       1.OPEN TPACAD PROGRAMMING APPLICATION FROM DESKTOP OR START
       MENU.
       
       
       2.TO OPEN YOUR SAVED PROGRAM FILES, PRESS OPEN IN THE LEFT
       CORNER OF TPACAD.
       
       3.AFTER OPENING THIS A NEW TAB WILL POP-UP.
       
       NOTE:CREARING DXF DRAWING FILE FROM DRAFT SIGHT APPLICATION
       (I)OPEN DRAFT SIGHT APPLICATION
       (II)OPEN A NEW PROGRAM TO CREATE YOUR DRAWING
       (III)IN THAT LAYERS SHOULD BE MENTIONED FOR ALL THE WORKINGS
       LIKE ROUTING,DEPTH OF HOLE,DEPTH OF GROOVING,SQUARING AND ALSO
       THE TOOL ID.
       (IV)SAVE THE FILE TYPE AS (*.DXF) WITH PROPER FILE NAME.
       (V)IN THE BELOW DRAWING THERE IS AN EXAMPLE FOR DOING SIMPLE
       LAYER FOR SQUARING.
       LAYERNAME=FRT1603Z-z-2(SQUARING)
       FR=MILL SETUP
       T1603=TOOL ID
       Z-z-2=Z DEPTH
       
       LAYERNAME=BOD8Z-10(DRILLING)
       BO=DRILL
       D8=DRILL DIAMETER OR HOLE DIAMETER
       Z-10=Z DEPTH
       LAYERNAME=SXS-1P9K1161Q1E-10D1C1(GROOVING WITH SAWBLADE)
       SX=SAWBLADE IN X
       S-1=INITIAL Z DEPTH
       P9=POCKET DIMENTION(GROOVE WIDTH)
       K1161=TOOL ID
       Q1=ENABLE Z2(FINAL DEPTH ENABLE)
       E-10=FINAL Z DEPTH
       D1=COMPENTATION(1 FOR LEFT 2 FOR RIGHT)
       C1=CALCULATE CORD
       
       4.IN THAT PAGE THE SOURCE FILE TYPE SHOULD BE SELECTED TO [DXF
       files(*.dxf;*.dwg)],AND THE SOURCE FILE SHOULD BE IN .DXF
       FORMAT.
       
       5.AFTER SELECTING THE FILE TYPE YOU CAN SELECT THE FILE NAME

       (D) LIKE THIS FOR ALL SETUP LINES PROPER TOOLS HAS TO
       ASSIGNED.OTHERWISE IN DRAWING FILE ITSELF TOOLS CAN BE ASSIGNED
       THROUGH LAYERS.
       10.ONCE FINISHED WITH ALL TOOLS ASSIGNMENTS YOU CAN SAVE THE
