Default Machine Configuration

In the Machine.ini file, the DefaultMachineName parameter in the [DefaultMachine] section is used to indicate the default machine from the list of machine(s) defined. When MultiHeadFlag is set to ‘1’ and ShowMultiHeadDialog is set to ‘0’, the nesting job will be executed using default parameter values of the machine assigned in this setting.

Default Configuration at the time of installation

At the time of installation, the SingleTHMachine is assigned as the default machine (Machine1).  This machine contains only a single tool head and thus represents machines used to execute nesting jobs using a single tool head.

If majority of your nesting jobs are done using single tool head machines, then it is highly recommended you leave Machine1 (SingleTHMachine) set as the default machine. Using SingleTHMachine as the default machine ensures that all nesting job are executed considering a single tool head. This setting effectively keeps the feature of Nesting with multiple tool heads inactive unless another machine is manually chosen by the user in the Multi head options tab of the Create Nesting Job dialog.

 If a majority of your nesting jobs are executed with single tool head machines, then it is highly recommended that you do not change the machine (SingleTHMachine) assigned as the Default Machine in the Machine.ini file.
