EnRoute View and Preference Settings
While
MultiCam
recommends different settings for standard configurations, the operator is able to review the
condition of the cutting sequence and the setup before the cutting sequence begins.
View Options
* Check the screen views to view the associated rulers. The rulers are used to verify size and positioning relative
to the location in that Layout View.
* Scroll up, down, left, or right to pan the viewing area without moving the contours.
Toolbars
* Select Setup/Toolbars to choose a toolbar in order to view or hide it. All toolbars will be shown by default.
* Move a toolbar to the desired location by holding down the left mouse button on the dividing line that separates
each bar and dragging it. Once the toolbar is close enough to one of the outer edges of the EnRoute window, the
toolbar will snap to it, rotating itself accordingly, and the operator may simply release the mouse button.
* Drag the toolbar to the layout viewing area and release it to the title bar at the top. The toolbar can then be
grabbed by clicking and holding down the left mouse button.
* Return to the default settings by selecting Setup/Toolbars/Reset to Defaults.
The Preference Settings available in EnRoute 3 (i.e., General, Initialization, Display, Units, Grids, View Setup,
Start Points) are used to maximize or speed up the process in which the operator creates a design and applies the
tool paths. While the operator has the final say in setting up the program,
MultiCam
recommends the following
configurations. More information on a particular setting is available by pressing F1 Help, selecting the Search tab,
typing in the tab name (e.g., General tab), and double-clicking the tab name under List Topics.
General
* Uncheck Merge Contours and Automatic Cleanup options since they may distort or join contours. Both the
Merge and Cleanup options, found under Transform, can be completed once the artwork is successfully
brought in.
* Undo Operations Limit due to PC resources and slow operation time. The Limited section should be set around
15 or 20 undos, though the operator would probably be better off starting over if he or she must undo more than
10 times.
* Undo Allow Scaling of Toolpath Groups to prevent using up resources. Toolpath is included in the size when
scaling these groups, and it may be better to delete the toolpaths and rescale the contours.
Routers * Lasers * Plasma * WaterJets * Knife Cutters
