Keyboard Command line: C2IN

Reads a CAESAR II input file. You must select the necessary ._A or .C2 file. This is the input file created by CAESAR II or the output facility in CADWorx. After you select the input file, a dialog box indicating that the file was read displays.

Make sure that the CAESARIIVersion startup variable is set to match your CAESAR II installation. If this variable is set to 2011, and the C2IN command is issued on a file created or modified with CAESAR II 2014, then an error message displays indicating that the valid file is corrupt.

C2 Interface Message

The next prompt requires that a specification be set. Although, there might be an existing specification set, confirmation or a new specification is required. The specification might not be used. The input facility in CADWorx attempts to determine the proper specification for the component being input from data in the CAESAR II input file. The input facility or the data in the input file does not always indicate a specification. Therefore, a default specification needs to be set for these components.

Caesar

Derives the descriptive information within any new components from the material passed back from CAESAR II and the name of the purposed component located in the PRGM.TBL file. This file is located in the [Product Folder]\Plant\System folder. The system automatically assigns all the required paths for data files which might be used later for reconstruction (such as mode conversion). If the material was not supplied in CAESAR II, then this option uses the description from the specification but does not populate the line number.

Environment

Assigns the component information based on the default specification. It also assigns a line number if there is a current line numbering system setup. You are responsible for the correct line number being set before importing. This option overrides any material sent from CAESAR II. For example, if A-133-B material type was chosen in CAESAR II, and the default specification above dictated A-106-B as the material type, this option would override the A-333-B grade and place A-106-B in the component. The full description would be from the default specification set above.

You must set the LanguageFile to the regional language when using a language-specific specification. For example, if you have Chinese characters in your specification, set the LanguageFile to Chinese_Simplified.dic. If you do not, System Out and System In do not function correctly. For more information, see LanguageFile.
