Panels and Parts

In the "Panels and Parts" section you can set default values for panels and parts. Default values are used only when manually adding a new panel or part or when adding panels from stock. For imported or loaded data, default values do not apply.

Panels - Default values
Parts - Default values





Panels - Default values
  • Trims - sometimes, if panel margins are damaged, it may be useful to get a cutting layout for an area smaller than the panel itself.
    Setting trim values for panels will cause the optimization engine to consider the panel Length = Length - Left trim - Rigth trim and Width = Width - Top trim - Bottom trim. 
    Every new panel added manually or from stock will have its trim values set to the default trim values.

  • Material - specifies the default material type for new panels. Every new panel added manually will have its material set to the default material. Panels added from stock will retain their stock material.

The panels default values can be applied to the panels in the current job as well. To apply the panels default values to all panels in the current job click the "Apply default values..." button from the panels section and check the default values you would like to apply, as illustrated in the picture below:



Then click "OK". The selected default values will be applied to all panels in the current job.

 


Parts - Default values
  • Margins - setting margin values for parts will cause the optimization engine to consider the part Length = Length + Left margin + Right margin and Width = Width + Top margin + Bottom margin.
    Every new part added manually will have its margin values set to the default margin values.

  • Edge banding - specifies the default band type for each side of the part. Every new part added manually will have its edge banding info set to the default edge banding values. Empty value means edge banding is disabled for that side of the part.

  • Works - specifies the default value of works for parts. Every new part added manually will have its works value set to the default works value.

The parts default values can be applied to the parts in the current job as well. To apply the parts default values to all parts in the current job click the "Apply default values..." button from the parts section and check the default values you would like to apply, as illustrated in the picture below:



Then click "OK". The selected default values will be applied to all parts in the current job.
