Use the Layer Definition tab to define and manage the layers that are used in the DXF/DWG plate export. These layers control how different plate elements are represented in the output file.
This tab contains a grid that lists all available layers in the configuration. Each row in the grid represents a layer, and the columns define its properties.
|
Default Layer |
Defines the base layer used for entities that are not explicitly assigned to a specific category. |
|
Contour |
Represents the outer boundary of the plate. |
|
Hole |
Represents holes in the plate. |
|
Information |
Represents informational elements in the output. |
|
BevelTS |
Defines the layer used to represent bevel geometry on this side (TS) of the plate. |
|
BevelOS |
Defines the layer used to represent bevel geometry on the other side (OS) of the plate. |
|
BevelBS |
Defines the layer used to represent bevel geometry on both sides (BS) of the plate. |
|
MarkingTS |
Defines the layer used to represent marking lines on this side of the plate. |
|
MarkingOS |
Defines the layer used to represent marking lines on the other side of the plate. |
|
MarkingBS |
Defines the layer used to represent marking lines on both sides of the plate. |
|
Excess |
Represents excess material outside the plate boundary. |
When you select a layer, its properties are displayed in the fields below the grid.

You can modify these values to control how the selected layer appears in the export.
