  • File generation directory: indicates the directory where the .ptx file will be generated.
    • In cases where the cut manager installation directory is not informed in the Export Settings, the file will be saved in the directory indicated in the Location field on the Generate Documents screen.
    • IMPORTANT: the file generated is with the extension .PTX, so it is necessary to have CADLINK to read it.
  • Version: file version
  • File creation option: allows integration files to be generated separately by material, find out more here.
  • File Format: Format of the file to be generated: ASCII (default) or Unicode (this is recommended for use with Chinese characters)
  • Maximum file name length: Enter the maximum number of characters for the integration file name. IMPORTANT:
    • Use the value 0 to not limit the size of the file name;
    • The minimum value for the number of characters is 5.

 

Cutting Plan Configuration

  • Cutting thickness (mm): it defines the thickness of the saw, in millimeters, that makes the cut. This value must be the same as that registered in CADmatic.
  • Maximum Cut Size: sets the maximum cut size possible for the machine.
  • Internal cutting thickness (mm): defines the internal cutting thickness. If you enter 0, the cutting plane will be generated without internal cutting thickness.
  • Allowed phases: defines the number of phases to be used in the cut manager.
  • Maximum machine allowed phases : defines the maximum number of phases allowed for the cutter manager.
  • Stacking Maximum(mm): defines the maximum measurement, in millimeters, of stacking sheets to make the cut;

 

Visualization

  • Zero point in the plane: define the position of the zero point used by the cutting manager.

 

Labels

  • Print part Labels: with this option selected, the information related to the shapes labels is sent in the .xml file.
  • Print remnant Labels: with this option selected, the information related to the leftover labels is sent in the .xml file.

 

5. On the Labels tab, on the Settings tab, adjust the rotation, width and height of the label image.

IMPORTANT: these measurements are defined in the CADmatic configuration, as CADmatic does not send the label template only the content of each field.
