Set Ups
General
Name: the name set in this field also changes the name of the folder where the generated files will be saved.
Alignment by face: defines whether the alignment face registered on each part is considered when generating programs. If yes, this face will be aligned according to the selected configuration. For more information click here.
Perform drilling: machine is enabled to drill holes.
Make slots: with the option checked the registered slot will be generated in the machine programs.
Perform machining: with the option checked the registered machining operations will be generated in the machine programs.
Variable usage field distance in X axis: distance from the end of the workpiece on the X-axis, which determines the area where operations should take variable of the size of the workpiece minus the distance from the operation under consideration to the end.
Variable usage field distance in Y axis: distance from the end of the workpiece on the Y-axis, which determines the area where operations should take variable of the size of the workpiece minus the distance from the operation under consideration to the end.
Invert variable fields: by checking this option, when a rotated part is generated, the fields invert.
Consider grain direction: considers grain direction when generating Nesting programs.
Discount edge band thickness: defines whether or not to discount the edge thickness.
Machining processes: through Plugin Builder, it is possible to create and determine types of processes for machining registered in the library, thus enabling the use of a particular tool for a particular machining. For more information click here.
Perform machined contour: defines the contour of which parts will be generated.
- None: contour machining will not be generated for any part;
- All: contour machining will be generated for all parts;
- Only marked: contour machining will be generated only for parts that have the Machined Contour property enabled in the library register.
Overcut
Sum edge band overcut: consider the edge band overcut value registered in the part.
Sum plate overcut: consider the plate overcut value registered on the part.
Machine
Priorization order: defines the order of prioritization of operations for program generation. According to the order indicated in this field the plugin will prioritize in program A the selected option.

Operations ordering: order that the machine performs operations.
Example: in a part that has holes and tears on the same face the order indicated in this field will determine the sequence in which they will be executed by the machine.
Holes
Drill bit angle used in through holes: determine the drill bit end angle for through hole usage (from 25 to 90 degrees). This value is used in the calculation to determine the increment in the through-hole depth to ensure that the hole passes completely through the part.
Drill GAP in through hole operation (mm): determine the clearance of the drill for use in through holes.
Maximum diameter of horizontal drill bit (mm): maximum diameter of horizontal drills.

Number of horizontal drill bits (X): the number of drills, for each horizontal face, present in the machine.
Number of lateral drill bits (Y): number of drill bits, for each side face, present in the machine.
Number of vertical drill bits (Z): number of vertical drills present in the machine.
Through drilling mode: drilling mode for through holes.
Machinings:
Inverted pass: Reverse pass used in edge-out operations.
- None: The cutter will follow the normal machining path entering one edge and exiting the other.
- One pass: The cutter will enter one edge of the part making only a small entry. Then the cutter will climb, go to the other end of the machining, and then follow the normal machining path.
- Double pass: The cutter will enter one edge of the part making only a small entry and return to the starting point. Then the cutter will climb, go to the other end of the machining, and then follow the normal machining path.
Machining type: defines the behavior of through machining. Default: follows the operation registration. Force Empty: removes all material. Force Contour: performs only the contour of the operation. For more information click here.

Maximum head displacement over X axis: maximum value that the head can displace over (X) axis after operations.
Maximum thickness(Z): maximum thickness of the part that the machine can perform operations.
Minimum length (X): minimum thickness of the part that the machine can perform operations.
