Saw transfer parameter - to send cutting patterns for offcuts to a different run
Where a pattern is for a board offcut this value sets whether the patterns are kept in a single run or the offcuts patterns are placed in a new run.
Check the box to set this parameter
This only applies to the following transfer modes.
CADmatic 3/4/5 (Cadmatic 4 & 5 only)
ASCII PTX
MDB PTX
Group transfer
For example:-
Runs containing both types of pattern are divided at the saw transfer dialog. Offcut runs are named after the original with an 'X' at the start of the file name and the text '(Offcut patterns)'.
Runs must have offcut patterns at the start or end of the run (as only two runs may be created at saw transfer). This may be achieved by setting the Optimising parameter 'Offcut patterns - position in run'.
Notes
- This option cannot be used with any of the other rules for dividing part lists / runs, for example, where runs are divided based on the number of parts in each run (System parameter: Divide part lists - maximum size for each run
- For Group transfers set this parameter for the group as a whole on the 'Group line'. The group can only contain transfer modes which support this parameter (as listed above).
