Optimising parameter to maintain layout of offcuts
For Non grained materials
Where a material is not grained the program by default labels any offcuts with the largest side as the length. For example, if the offcut is labelled on the pattern as 390.6 x 650.0 the offcut is labelled in the board library (and offcut summary) as: 650.0 x 390.6
If this parameter is checked the program does not do this and labels the offcut with the dimensions as they appear on the original pattern layout. For example an offcut labelled on the pattern as 390.6 x 650.0 remains in the board library (and offcut summary) as: 390.6 x 650.0
Check the box to maintain the original orientation for the offcut labels.
Always
preserve offcut orientation
Notes
- Can also be set as a material parameter at both board and material level
- This parameter can be useful where external storage systems are used which rely on the offcut orientation not changing
