New

This button can be used to generate a new file and initialise the settings for the NC machining operations. After clicking the button, the above settings are made one after the other.

General parameters

Set neutral colour

Here, you can activate that the colour of all geometry elements is set to the default colour green. This option should not be used if certain colours are assigned special processing operations.

Ignore certain colours

Here, you can activate that certain colours should not be set to green with the option "Set neutral colour". The colour numbers are entered into the input field. Several colour numbers can be entered, separated by semicolons.

Retain NC legend

Here, you can activate that the manually added entries are retained in the NC legend. Only those entries are updated that are automatically filled by a variable, for example, Material.

Initialise punching/lasering parameters

Here, you can activate that the standard parameters for lasering and punching should be read in again.

Set zero point

Here, you can activate that the zero point is to be moved to the lower left corner.

Set machine attribute in article name

Here, you can activate that a machine attribute should be set in the name.

Nesting parameters

Mirroring allowed

Here, you can activate that the part may be mirrored during nesting.

Rotation allowed

Here, you can activate that the part may be rotated during nesting.

Rotation increment (1-360)

Here, you enter the number of steps into which a complete rotation of the part is to be broken down. This results in the permissible angle of rotation for the part.

Pre-rotation angle

The pre-rotation angle on the nesting for this part is entered here. All angular positions are calculated with this value.

Suitable for common cut

Here, you activate whether the part is suitable for common laser cuts. In this case, the part is automatically laid out to kerf width during nesting. The common cut function must be executed on the sheet to generate the new processing.
