Enabling/Disabling the feature of Nesting with Multiple Tools

If you wish to execute Nesting jobs using the feature of Nesting with Multiple tool heads, then this feature option needs to be activated.

The feature of nesting with multiple tools can be enabled/disabled from the Machine.ini file.

 

Steps to enable/disable the feature of Nesting with Multiple Tool heads

1. Open the file named Machine.ini located in the CAMWorksNesting installation folder. Observe the first section named [MultiHeadData].

 

[MultiHeadData]

;Multi head flag; set to True(1) for multi tool head nesting, or else set to False(0)

MultiHeadFlag = 1

;Value to indicate whether Multi head api needs to be shown or not : Yes : 1, No , 0

ShowMultiHeadDialog = 1

 

2. The third line of this file contains a flag named MultiHeadFlag. This flag is used to enable/disable the functionality of nesting with multiple tools.

• When the MultiHeadFlag is set to ‘1’, the option of nesting with multiple tool heads will be enabled. If the flag  ShowMultiHeadDialog is also set to '1', then an interactive interface (the Multi head options tab in the Create Nesting Job dialog)to  edit parameters related to nesting with multiple tools will be displayed. This is the default setting at the time of installation.

• When the MultiHeadFlag is set to ‘0’, the option of nesting with multiple tool heads will not be available at all. No interactive interface to edit the parameters related to nesting with multiple tools will be displayed. The flag settings of ShowMultiHeadDialog will be immaterial since the function is disabled.
