Print Nests

If checked, you will get a print of each nested sheet sent to the printer automatically during the job run. One print for each nest.

 

Print Code As Single Parts

If checked and you have parts that are set to Code as Single Part, they will be printed during the job run.  One print for each part.

 

Print Material Usage Report

Turned on, a material report will automatically be printed at the end of the job.

 

Create Nest PDF

If checked, you will get a PDF of each nested sheet with the name of the PDF matching the output file named defined in the 'Output Files' section.

When this option is checked, you will receive a report file for each individual part file including code file names, tooling used and additional information.

 

Report_SinglePart

 

Reset Sheet Counter for Each Material

If checked, the counter for the NC code file will have its numbers reset each time it encounters a new material.  So if you had two nests, one on MDF75_ and one on BIR500_, you would get files named MDF75_1 and BIR500_1. If the box was unchecked, you would get MDF75_1 and BIR500_2. The last digit is the sheet count.

 

Report_ResetSheet

 

NOTE: Security settings in Excel may need to be adjusted in order to view the Summary Reports correctly. You will need to go to the Microsoft Excel 'Trust Center' located under the 'Options' in Microsoft Excel. To allow the Summary Report to populate, you will need to adjust the Macro Settings and the External Content settings as shown below.
