Safety borders

 

Machining library option to set safety border

 

Adding safety borders

 

When a contour is added to a drawing in the machining library an additional field is available called Safety.  

 

A contour can be drawn around the outside of a part and set as a safety border with this field set. During the generation of nested patterns, no other part will be positioned within this safety area.

 

Safety borders only work with the Shaped nesting optimiser types and not rectangular nesting.

 

Display of safety borders

 

In review runs the safety border can either be shown in red or hidden for the following reports:-

 

Nested preview

Nested drawings

Machining preview

Machining drawings

 

The Show safety check boxes in the parameters dialog are used to switch between showing and hiding the safety border.

 

The parts check box applies to the machining reports and the patterns check box applies to the nested reports.

 

Note - these settings only apply to reports in review runs and not in other areas of the software.

 

Machining transfer

 

Part borders and safety borders are transferred to WoodWop 4.0 format MPR(X) files.
