Machine 1
General
Name: define the name for the machine. IMPORTANT: The name set in this field also changes the name of the folder where the generated files will be saved.
Generator ID: machine generation engine ID.
Length X (mm): the value entered this field indicates the maximum usable length of the machine.
Width Y (mm): the value entered this field indicates the maximum usable width of the machine.
Min length X (mm): minimum length of the part for the machine to perform operations;
Min Width Y (mm): minimum width of the part for the machine to perform operations;
Max thickness Z (mm): maximum thickness (Z) supported by the machine.
Min thickness Z (mm): minimum thickness (Z) supported by the machine.
.inf file
Detail operations in all programs: detail operations not performed on the .inf file in all programs (A, B, C,...).
Generate .inf file from parts without operations: generate .inf file of parts without operation.
Holes
Drill vertical minimum diameter: minimum drilling diameter, in millimeters.
Drill horizontal minimum diameter:minimum horizontal hole diameter, in millimeters.
Max vertical diameter (mm): maximum diameter of vertical drills.
Max horizontal diameter: maximum diameter of holes drilled horizontally.
Number of upper drill bits (Z): maximum part thickness the machine can perform operations;
Number of lower drill bits (Z): number of bottom drills present in the machine.
Number of lateral drill bits (Y): number of drill bits, for each side face, present in the machine.
Number of horizontal drill bits (X): the number of drills, for each horizontal face, present in the machine.
Milled operations
Maximum position on X axis: maximum position on the X axis.
Maximum position on Y axis: maximum position on the Y axis.
Minimum position on X axis: maximum position on the Y axis.
Minimum position in Y: minimum position on the y-axis.
Tools

Mills
The mills are used to perform slotting and machining.
Properties
Code: the code defined in this field must match the registration defined on the machine so that the tool can be located correctly.
Name: the name defined in this field must match the registration defined on the machine so that the tool can be located correctly.
Diameter (mm): tool diameter.
Tool Height (mm): tool height, in millimeters.
Step depth (mm): defines the depth of the tool pass.
Through plunge and milling offset (mm): compensation of the drilling and machining of the part.
Interlock (mm): overpass between tool passes to avoid material leftovers.
Utilization face: defines which faces the tool can be used on.
Machining cutting direction: defines if the contour milling has to be done clockwise or counterclockwise.
Start of machining: defines where contour machining starts, at one of the corners or in the middle of one of the workpiece edges. This option is applicable only to external contour machining.
Approach extension: defines the type of tool approach.
Retract extension: defines how long the tool retracts after machining/contouring is completed.
Distance between input approach and retract: it is advisable that this value be greater than zero so that the cut does not leave any fragments (burrs).
Compensation Alignment: defines whether the tool has an offset, Automatic, Center, Left or Right as per direction of cut direction option for contour machining. For more information, click here.
Setups
General
Name: the name set in this field also changes the name of the folder where the generated files will be saved.
Alignment 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.
Make holes: indicates whether or drilling operations should be performed.
Make holes parallel: with the option checked, holes that exceed the thickness of the part when adding up their depths, and which are in the same position on opposite faces, will be combined into a single through operation.
Technical drawing
Example with Make parallel holes checked
Example with the option Make parallel holes unchecked
Make slots: with the option checked, the registered slot will be generated in the machine programs.
Make machinings: indicates whether or not machining operations should be performed.
Define tool: defines which tool.
Tool change function with magazine: If the machine has a magazine, the corresponding tool change command is sent.
Contour
Make machining contour: defines which of the contours should be executed.
Machine
Prioritized head: head prioritization order.
Select the head: indicates which head will perform the operations, either the lower head, the upper head, or both. If only one head is used, operations on opposite sides are performed in different programs.
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.
Example: In a part that has holes on one side and tears on the other side, the order indicated in this field will determine which of them will be prioritized in the A program.
Operations order: 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.
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.
