Set the Engraving Parameters
Make the settings for the composition of the workpiece to engrave and the engraving depth.
Choosing the composition sets engraving parameters suited to this engraving. However, [Z Down Position] and [Fill Pitch] are deter-
mined with no relation to composition, and so they are set separately. For [Z Down Position], enter the engraving depth. For [Fill Pitch],
enter the tool diameter.
The values for settings other than [Z Down Position] and [Fill Pitch] are also suggested guidelines. If the results of actual engraving are
not as expected, modify the values accordingly.
Lines are distinguished by color, and parameters when engraving a line of the corresponding color are set.

Click the tab for the color to set.
The numeral appearing next to the color is the tool

Click the drop-down arrow for [Tool], then click
the tool number.
If you don’t wish to engrave lines of that color,
click [None].
For [Fill Pitch] and items other than [Fill Pitch], suitable values are set for engraving the composition you chose in
step 2. However, these values are only suggestions. If the results of actual engraving are not as expected, adjust the
values accordingly.

For [Z Down Position], enter the cutting-in depth.

For [Fill Pitch], enter the diameter of the tool tip.
To achieve an attractive finish, enter a value
narrower than the actual diameter.
