Assigning Default Part-to-Part & Part-to-Sheet Distance
The default values displayed for Part-to-Part distance and Part-to-Sheet distance are defined in the DefaultValues.ini file.
Editing the Part-to-Part distance and Part-to-Sheet Distance:
- Open the file named DefaultValues.ini located in the CAMWorks Installation folder.
- Observe the section named [NestingData]. The default values for Part-to-Part Distance and Part-to-Sheet Distance are defined here.
- The Part-to-Part Distance and Part-to-Sheet Distance are defined in both MMGS and IPS units. Edit these values to change the default values. (Lines 5 to 8 under [NestingData] section)
- For example, consider that a Part-to-Part Distance of 3mm and a Part-to-Sheet Distance of 2mm are to be assigned as new default values in MMGS units. Similarly, a Part-to-Part Distance of 0.125 inch and a Part-to-Sheet Distance of 0.25 inch are to be assigned as new default values in the IPS units.
- To apply these changes, the values under [NestingData] in the DefaultValues.ini should be changed as follows:
[NestingData]
...
...
PartToPartDistance-MM = 3
PartToPartDistance-Inch = 0.1250000
PartToSheetDistance-MM = 2
PartToSheetDistance-Inch = 0.250000
