FILE TRANSFER GUIDELINES
In order to facilitate the transfer of CAD files, we offer these guidelines.
- Transfer all CAD files directly to:
Scott Maxwell
Voice Phone: (715) 684-3033
E-Mail Address: scott.maxwell@ktek-net.com
Call at any time with questions regarding computer related topics such as: CAD database, file transfers, file formats, etc.
Types of CAD Files
K-TEK has the capability to translate most commonly used CAD files formats, but some types of files are easier to process given the current software and hardware. The recommended file types listed below improves the efficiency of file transfer and translation.
Autocad 2000
Solid Works
DXF
IGES
NOTE: Most IGES files will not include tolerance and material information. Please send the DXF files along with all the IGES files. If for some reason the DXF files are not included, fax the information to the appropriate salesperson or program manager.
File Transfer Methods
K- TEK has a wide range of file transfer capability, but not all methods are equal to deal with. The methods listed (in order of preference) provide better reliability to process the customers CAD files promptly.
Internet E-Mail (Strongly Recommended)
FTP (NO anonymous login) Call: 715-684-3033 to create User account
Disk
Supplementary Information
The single most important part of a file transfer is the supplementary information included with the CAD files. A CAD file by itself without documentation will produce processing delays. By following the guidelines listed below, file processing can be made noticeably faster.
Each CAD file should be named with the appropriate part number and revision. (ie. 11556-cr.igs.)
A quick identification of the file as an IGES file of part # 11556 at revision level c.
Do not send multiple files with the same name, preventing files from overwriting themselves.
Do not send files with non-descriptive file names such as: "ktek.igs" or "newchange.zip".
Separate Text File (please include with all file transfers)
The following information should be included in a separate text file sent with all part files. (E-Mail is the best way to send the text file)
A list of each part number and revision being sent
The name of the K-TEK salesperson or program manager associated with the part
A brief description of what is to be done with the part files
Additional information is welcome and will be given to the appropriate people.
Always compress the IGES files with UNIX compress (if the customer has UNIX systems) or Winzip to reduce file transfer time.
