Save

Purpose:

To create a new shop drawing form in the nesting standards data bank.

Prerequisites:

A drawing must be open. The drawing name must be the same as the name to be used for the form.

Instruction:

After creating the geometry for the form and defining any $-text items to be used in the form, select Save from the Form sub-menu. Define the available working area of the form, by indicating two points. The points can be redefined until Operation Complete is selected.

Note: Refer to further ‘Help’ information for a full listing of $-text variables.

Options:

Not available.

Result:

The new form will be stored on the nesting standards data bank and will disappear from the work area. The form is now available for use in nesting. Care should be taken when storing ‘new’ forms to ensure that an existing form is not overwritten with a completely different form.
