This function is only available up to Plugin Builder version 1.60.24.1.
Promob Builder does not generate the label for nesting machines, what is sent is information and an image of the part with a caption of edge tapes, so that through the software of each nesting center are configured and printed labels at the discretion of each manufacturer, being the responsibility of the user and machine manufacturer negotiations on how the label will be printed on each machine.
To configure the information and images for sending the Promob Builder label to the machine, you need to follow the following steps:
Image generation
Within the configuration of CNC machines, in the setup of the desired machine, enter the option Label.
Enabling the checkbox to save label images automatically enables the field to copy label images to the selected path. If this field is unchecked, it will send the same path to the label as the one specified when the files were generated, so the path used by the machine must be the same as the one sent.
It is also possible to enter the path of the label images in the Nesting file the path where the label images will be saved on the machine, so when the images are generated, regardless of the path the image is generated in, the name of the directory where the images should be retrieved will be sent in the file generated during integration.
EXAMPLE
Copy labels images to selected relative path: option to copy labels images to the selected path.
Selected directory
C:\Users\Desktop\Nesting
Generated file

Image Settings
The part image settings that are sent from Promob to the machine are configured with the following options:
Alignment face icon style: determines the style of the face and alignment indicator:
- Standard: standard alignment face indicator displayed on the part and on the label legend.
- Simplified: indicator of the simplified alignment face on the part.
Caption font size (pts): sets the font size used in part dimensions.
Dimensions font size (pts): sets the text size used in part dimensions.
Edge banding character in image: character displayed in the label legend informing of the edge with the part.
Height (mm): determines the height of the image.
Line thickness (mm): determines the line thickness of the image.
Monochromatic: if enabled, the image will be sent in black and white mode.
Resolution (DPI): measurement used by printer manufacturers to determine the resolution of the printed image.
