CADmatic link - the CADmatic and the PC are linked over a Network
Label printing at the saw - For the CADmatic transferred data includes the information necessary for printing labels at the saw. For CaDmatic 1 and CADmatic 2 the Label design option in the Optimising program can be used to design labels and transfer the design to the saw. Other CADmatic types provide a label design option separately.
For the transfer to work correctly the Transfer mode must be set to the correct saw type via Saw Transfer Parameters
Notes
- Transfer to CADmatic 3/4/5 - Parts with no edging - When information boxes are used for edging codes the contents of these boxes are exported to the CADmatic 3/4/5 .saw file during saw transfer. If a part had no edging on one side, the exported edge code is set to blank.
- Transfer programs. Optionally a transfer program can be set for CADmatic 3/4/5 (Saw transfer parameters). This is program is run after the data files are created. In previous versions the Optimising program passed the path for the current directory to these transfer programs. This path is no longer required by these programs and is not passed to them.
Destacking information
Destacking information is listed in the DSTPNL2 record lines of the .SAW file.
To output the DSTPNL2 lines check the Saw transfer parameter: Create destacking data.
CADmatic 4/5
Board parameters and grain match template parameters that are specified at the board level are passed to the .SAW file in a pattern parameter line named. PTNP
