System files

Main executable files of a system:

SC.exe – executable system module.
INP.exe – executable < Postprocessors generator > module.
SCUpdater.exe – executable program updater module.

CAD Files of this type can be imported into SprutCAM X:

*.igs, *.iges – file format of Initial Graphics Exchange Specification;
*.dxf – file of Drawing Exchange Format by Autodesk ™ ;
*.stl – file format native to the stereo lithography CAD software;
*.vrl – file format of Virtual Reality Modeling Language;
*.ps – file in PostScript format;
*.eps – file in Encapsulated PostScript format;
*.x_t, *x_b – file of Parasolid ™ kernel file format;
*.sldasm, *.sldprt - file of native SolidWorks ™ project format.
*.asm, *.par, *.psm, *.pwd - file of the native SolidEdge ™ project format.
*.3dm – file in native Rhinoceros ™ project format;
*.step, *.stp – STEP, modern graphics exchange specification.

*.stcp – system project files, contain all information about the project: geometrical model, machining operations toolpath etc. Previously used the extension “*.stc”. It will also be supported.
*.stcx – XML format project files, project is saved to stcp format too.
*.sto – files, contain information about operations: structure operations in the project, parameters of operations etc.
*.dxf ; *.eps ; *.ps – files, contain information about 2D geometry.
*.stl – files, contain information about simulation result.
*.xml – files, contain information about toolpath for external simulator.
*.sppx – postprocessors tuning files for the different CNC systems (used by SprutCAM X and the < Postprocessors generator >).
*.spp, *.inp – postprocessor tuning files of previous versions of SprutCAM X. The old format is supported by the new version of SprutCAM X too. < Postprocessors Generator > can reform the files into the *.sppx format.
*.stfc – zip-container file that can contain any other files of the system inside (postprocessors, machine schemes, projects etc.). Content can be encrypted and digitally signed.
*.snci – interpreters tuning files for the different CNC systems (used by SprutCAM X in G-code based simulation mode and in G-code based operations).
*.dsk , *.cfg – files containing data about the system screen settings. Generate automatically if they are lacking.

Other files and folders, created during the installation, are required for the proper functioning of the program. Their modification or deletion can prevent the proper functioning of the program. Substitution of files is needed only when upgrading the version, and should be performed in strict accordance with the update information supplied.
