AUTO_SET Statement

One customer may have different rules for how the continuously varying bevel types should be applied in different production lines. for example, a panel line with special cutting equipment may have different rules compared to single part cutting, special materials (like aluminium) may require separate rules, The collection of rules for one such separate type of production is called a set. The rules for different sets are quite independent of each other (as independent as if they were used in different companies!).
The AUTO_SET statements define the different sets that are used by a certain customer.
Syntax:
|
AUTO_SET, <set_No> |
The attributes have the following interpretation:
|
<set_No> |
is the number of the set. It should be a positive integer number in the range 1 to 32767. The AUTO_SET Statement can be left out if there is only one set of rules. The only (default) set then has the number 1 but it need never be used. |
|
NAME |
An optional name of the set. The name should be unique. |
|
CUTOUT |
The minimum size of a cutout opening (mm) on a limit before the cutout will be cut. Cutouts with opening less than this size will be cut separately as holes. |
|
= 0 (default) All cutouts will be cut separately as holes. |
|
|
= 9999 All cutouts will be cut normally included in the part geometry. |
|
|
Note: This parameter indirectly controls whether an automatically selected bevel type on a limit is allowed to change at cutouts. |
|
|
BRIDGE |
The width of the bridge between the hole formed from the cutout and the limit of the part (default=50mm). |
