Item
Description
Spline Distance of points
(mm)
Specifies the distance between any two points on a curve when the curve is
converted to coordinates. For example, when this value is set to 1 and a 10-mm long
curve is converted to commands, the result will be a series of Line Start, Line Passing,
and Line End commands that will produce a curve with a total of 11 points.
Offset X, Y
After you create program commands using Point Dispense or Line Dispense, the
resulting XY values may be negative numbers. This causes the imported points to
display off the grid when viewed on the Secondary View screen. To resolve this
issue, enter X and / or Y values in the offset fields of the Option window such that the
imported XY values change to positive values. For example, if an imported XY value is
-150, -150, 0, then enter 200 for Offset X and 200 for offset Y, click OK, and then click
the Point Dispense or Line Dispense icon again to refresh the values. The new values
will be 50, 50, 0 and the points will be visible on the Secondary View screen grid when
you go to the Program screen.
Auto Offset
When selected, causes the system to align all the points in the middle of the fixture
plate to the greatest extent possible.
Rotate
Rotates the file by the specified degrees
Mirror
Mirrors the file over the X or Y axis, as selected. Select the Mirror checkbox for the
option to take effect when the file imports.
Sort Path By
For arrays of dispense dots, sorts the resulting Dispense Dot commands by the X or Y
coordinates, as specified. Refer to “Using the Sort Path By Option” on page 143 for
details about this option.
