FAQ
NC1 to PCT Conversion
What are NC1 files?
DSTV NC1 is the most widely used CNC file format for structural steel fabrication, developed according to the standards of the German Steel Construction Association (DSTV). It contains detailed manufacturing data for steel components, including drilling, cutting, milling, marking, and part dimensions, allowing CAD/CAM systems to communicate directly with CNC machinery. The .nc1 extension is the standard file extension for DSTV NC files.
What are PCT files?
PCT is an image file format associated with Macintosh QuickDraw, a graphics program developed in the 1980s as part of the Apple Macintosh operating system. The initial version of the format, called PICT 1, could store 8 colors, while the later developed PICT 2 supported 24 and 32-bit color images. In recent years, the format has decreased in popularity, being gradually replaced by more versatile formats.
