Machining centre transfer parameter to set whether an automatic conversion occurs
Some machining centres do not support both millimetres and inches so any incoming values in an inches format need to be changed to millimetres.
- Check the box to automatically divide
Automatically
convert
Only applies to Homag and Morbidelli
Notes
- All converted values are rounded to two decimal places. This avoids the following problem:- A machining centre sometimes relies on items such as the tool diameter to select the correct tool but a conversion without rounding can lead to confusion. For example 0.315 inch would be converted to 8.001mm (8/25.4). Rounding converts the value to 8.00mm which is then recognised by the Machining centre.
- This parameter allows (when working in inches) to transfer the data to a machine in metric.
- The parameter is not used for PTX/MDB formats
- Only applies for machining library drawings with nesting if the System parameter: Nested pattern view is set to 'Machining library'.
