DAYTON ON DISK CAD PROGRAMS
for
VERSATILE,BALL LOCK and MAXLIFE SPRINGS CATALOGS

INTRODUCTION:

The Dayton on Disk software will assist tool designers and/or drafts-person to draw DAYTON PROGRESS components during the die design process

Dayton on Disk cad software was developed to draw punches, guides, matrix, pilots and retainers for Dayton Progresses Versatile, Ball Lock and MaxLife Spring catalogs. The components are drawn in 2-D and conform to the dimensional and catalog information as input by the operator.

MH Soft Inc. of Orlando, FL. developed the CAD programs to function with AutoCAD.

It is understood that the operator has a basic knowledge of AutoCAD and its commands and their functions. The CAD programs will provide cataloged products only. If extended ranges are required, the operator will be required to modify the part and its attributes to conform to the extended range.

When using these programs, in no event will Dayton Progress Corporation or MH Soft Inc. be liable to you or any other person for damages, including any lost profits, lost savings, or incidental or consequential damages arising out of the use or inability to use such software.

PROGRAM EXECUTION:

A typical selection process for a Jektole punch is outlined below

1. Launch a session of AutoCAD
2. Type desired catalog module name below at the AutoCAD command line below
   a) ddversa <ENTER> to launch Versatile catalog
   b) ddball <ENTER> to launch Ballock catalog
   c) ddspring <ENTER> to launch Spring catalog
   OR CLICK THE APPROPRIATE ICON FROM THE Dayton Toolbar
   NOTE: Choose punch module ddversa or ddball to continue with this example
3. Select Punch
4. Select Jektole
5. Define product parameters
   a) Select Shape
   i) Scroll and Click desired shape in the "Shapes List box" [i.e. VJO]
   b) Define Shape Dim. Parameters
   i) I.e. P=.4
   ii) I.e. W=.2
   iii) Click the "Dim's OK" check box [This will query available shank sizes]
   c) Select Available Shank Size
   NOTE: Sizes with the N/A suffix are not available due to size restrictions
   i) Scroll and Click desired Shank size in the "Shank (D) List box" [i.e. .5000]
   d) Select Available Point Length Size
   NOTE: Sizes with the N/A suffix are not available due to size restrictions
   i) Scroll and Click desired Point Length size in the "Point lgth (B) List box" [i.e. 1.00]
   e) Select Available Overall Length
   NOTE: Sizes with the N/A suffix are not available due to size restrictions
   i) Scroll and Click desired Overall Length size in the "Overall (L) List box" [i.e. 3.00]
   f) Select desired view
   i) "Side View" will display the standard orientation of the shape.
   ii) "Rotate 90" will orient the shape 90 degrees offset. (Side view with the point "P" dimension)
   g) Select Available Material
   i) Scroll and Click desired Material "Material List box" [i.e. M2]
   h) Type in the detail number of the component you are about to draw in the "Detail #" field. If you do not know the detail number, go to the next step.
   i) Verify that ALL the parameters are correct. If not, repeat selections as necessary.
   NOTE: When a parameter is changed, all subsequent selections (as defined in step 5 above), must be made in order to assure proper sizing.
   j) Click the "Draw" button
   k) Click in your drawing to locate the position of the "Center of plan view"
   l) Click in your drawing to locate the position of the "Center of side View"
6. Repeat Steps 3 , 4, and 5 for selections of other components

LIST of MATERIAL:
DAYTON PROGRESS CAD program provides additional programs to generate List of Material (LOM) for the components drawn with DAYTON PROGRESS CAD. The attribute information contained in the component blocks will be extracted, sorted, then printed as a text file to LPT1 only.

After inserting all of the desired Dayton Progress Components:

1. Save the AutoCAD drawing
2. Click the List of Materials Generator icon in the Dayton Toolbar
3. Follow the directions at the command prompt
