Main Screen Layout
The main viewing area is the largest area of the screen and is located in the upper left
corner and is used to preview manual nests. During an automatic nest, this area will
remain blank. The plate size used during Automatic nesting is based on plate information
that has been selected at the main setup screen.
The upper right corner of the main screen displays the list of part programs and quantities
of parts to be automatically nested. In the lower right, there locations to save the nested
part program to a folder location and to assign a file name.
Note: This software feature is protected both by a software enable and a hardware key
(dongle) installed on the CNC.
