Side browser

Side browser is designed to improve navigation of shape nesting content and manage some parameters by entering the values in digital form. The browser has three tabs representing different information cross-sections of shape nesting.

This tab shows full content of shape nesting.

Nesting Included products browser

Included Products

Shows the code and name of included products.

File

Shows the file from which the information is taken.

Quantity

Shows the number of products included in the given shape nesting. This number may be adjusted, thus automatically increasing the number of piece instances in the current shape nesting. Bear in mind that the program saves the product content at the moment of inclusion and, if the product number is changed, product increase or decrease is included. In other words, if you have previously increased or decreased the number of instances, the addition or deduction will be made to the modified situation at the current time.

This browser window shows properties. The display depends on the selected context. The fullest list of properties is obtained if the properties of the selected piece of a specific part are requested.

Nesting Properties Browset

The properties shown in the editable text box may be edited. The content of shape nesting and information exported to specifications (BOM) and CNC programs will be changed accordingly.
