Pre-defined information box (field) for nesting

 

Used to store a path and file name for each MPR(X) or DXF file.

●  Click on the select button in the cell

 

The program displays the part select dialog

Set up

 

To work in this way the program must be set up as follows:-

 

Drawing path - information box must be set (Information box parameters)

Part list properties must be set: File - Properties - Drawing source - MPR(X) files or DXF files

 

 

Notes

 

- When parts are added or changed via the Change button the part sizes are automatically updated from the MPR(X) or DXF file.

 

- Changing the Drawing path - information box directly has no effect - use the 'Change button'

- Each part list line can have its own Drawing path and MPR(X) or DXF  filename

 

- When the selection mode for parts is set to text mode (System parameters - Select using pictures - parts), a second column is displayed showing the date and time of the MPR(X) or DXF files.
