Pattern labels
The program uses the standard rules for adding part labels to patterns:-
- Part number or part description and part size
- Part number or part description
- Nothing
Whether part number of part description is used is set by the Review runs parameter: Text format - pattern display
For Rectangular nesting - each part can be enclosed within a rectangular area and the label is positioned in the centre of this rectangular area
For Shaped nesting - for each part the centre point of the shape is calculated and the label is positioned at the centre point, that is, the text is not rotated to match the shape or the angle at which the shape is set.
Notes
- MPR(X) files - where the pattern format is MPR(X) both the patterns and the parts are created as MPR(X) files
