Assign attributes via the file name

An NC part that is saved in an archive can be given several attributes via the file name. The file name is then composed as follows:

File name(MxxxxAxxxFxGxxx)

Attributes that can be assigned via the file name

Attribute

Meaning

M

Number of the machine for which the part may be used exclusively

A

Angle at which the part may be used in nesting

F

Indication whether the part may be mirrored (0= no; 1= yes)

G

Number of parts in the part (group size)

Example 1:

T100001(M1A90F0G2)

Article: T100001
Machine: 1
Angular position: 90 degrees
Mirrored: no
Group: 2 pieces

Example 2:

Each article can be stored in an archive several times with different attributes. After nesting, the most suitable part for the current situation is loaded in each case. For example, an article can be stored for 2 machines in 4 angular positions each:

T100001(M1A0)
T100001(M1A90)
T100001(M1A180)
T100001(M1A270)

T100001(M2A0)
T100001(M2A90)
T100001(M2A180)
T100001(M2A270)
