IMPORTANT

  • In WinCut integration, the generated files are divided into four folders: Lst, Prg, Bitmap and Labels. ​​​​​​​
  • The .prg file can have a maximum of 99 commands, due to a limitation in WinCut. Therefore, if the cutting plan generates more than 99 commands, a file with the designation _REP is created, containing the excess commands. This file is used in the same way as a .prg file.
