Options

2.9.1

General Settings

Here you can change general settings and functions with the way the program is run. The General Settings are
categorized by their purpose in the software.

Save Settings

HD Save Location is used to change the location job files will be saved on your Tablet PC or computer. Click on
the browse button “…” to the right of the dialogue box and choose the folder you want to save all job files in
by default. Click Clear if you wish to revert back to the default location of My Documents.

Days to keep auto save files simply allows you to change how long auto save files are stored on the hard
drive. These auto saved files are located in C:\Program Files\Laser Products\LT-55XL\auto_save. This defaults
to 10 day but can be changed to however long you wish to save them.

Save with page names, if checked while saving a job the resulting .dxf files that are saved with it will be titled
whatever the page name is for that drawing.

Default DXF Polylines, if checked will default all lines to Polylines instead of Line Segments. Some CNC/CAM
machinery will only work with one or the other. Check with your machinery to see if this should be checked or
unchecked for your specific shop setup.

Export PDF in black/white with edge treatments, if checked will export the drawings to a .pdf file in black and
white with the edge types labeled on them.

Save Template Images, if checked will save a screen shot of the drawing as a .jpg file and can be used as a
reference.

Use Color in DXF Layer, if checked the layer name within the .dxf file will be preceded with the name of the
color. Some CAD/CAM systems need to have this checked.

Export DXF BYLAYER, if checked will export the BYLAYERS if your CNC machinery needs it.

Use DXF on advanced save, if checked will default to saving a .dxf file on the Advanced Save instead of the
default .l55.

Sync DXF files when opening LT55 file, if checked will import any modified .dxf files back into the job file (.l55)
when opening. This is done if you have an employee that modified the files in another CAD program and you
want update the .l55 file.

The line thickness within the exported DXF file is the default line thickness in .dxf files after exported.

Settings Save Location is the default location that settings files are saved to.

DXF File Name Format is the formatting scheme for naming .dxf files once saved.
