Board orientation

 

Optimising parameter to set board rotation

 

A rectangular board can be loaded in two ways.

 

 Select the orientation allowed

 

Lengthways

Widthways

Either way

 

Either way - allows the board to be loaded in either orientation

 

The choice can be affected by whether the board is grained and whether 'short rip' patterns are acceptable.

 

Board sizes - the program takes the values of the length and width from the values that are stored against Length and Width in the Board library so the 'length' may not always be the longest side.

 

 

Notes

 

- Can also be set as a material parameter at both board and material level

 

- For PTX import/saw transfer the field is interpreted as either Lengthways (no rotation) or Either way (allow rotation) when importing

 

- When transferring to the saw 'Either way' or 'Widthways' are output as 'allow rotation' and Lengthways as 'no rotation'
