DOC3.17 LOAD WORKING

This function loads a working previously saved in Parametrix.

Piece list

The section on the left contains the list of state files that can be loaded.

Buttons

	Sort by date Sorts the files in the list by creation date. By default, they are sorted from newest to oldest. Pressing the button again sorts the files from oldest to newest. The operation can be repeated to change the sorting order.
	Sort by name Sorts the files in the list by name. Pressing the button selects whether the files are sorted in ascending or descending order.
	USB memory Provides access to the USB memory inserted in the PC, allowing folders to be browsed and files viewed.
	Working folder Quick access to the PC working folder.
	Browse folders This button allows all folders on the PC to be browsed.
	Delete file Switches to “Delete file” mode. In this mode, an eraser icon appears to the left of the name of each file in the list. Selecting a file in this mode deletes it permanently.
	Search files Searches for files in the folder whose names contain the text entered in the adjacent box.

Preview

This section shows a preview of the file selected from the list.

Below the preview, the slab and tool parameters from the selected file and from the machine are shown in the upper and lower sections respectively.

WARNING!

To open a working completely, the file parameters must be identical to the machine parameters.
Otherwise, file parameters that differ from the machine parameters are highlighted in red.
If the parameters are not the same, the working opens partially, with piece arrangement only. A message informs the user that changes to the cuts cannot be made.

Other buttons

	Slab Matching Allows pieces to be positioned in the office installation of Parametrix using an image of the slab, then realigns the perimeter and pieces with the actual position of the same slab placed on the machine workbench.
	Load state Loads the state saved in the selected file.

How to load a state

From the main page, open the panel for loading a state.
Then select the file for the working to be reproduced.

After confirmation, the pieces are created and inserted into the work area with all operations that have been applied to them.

Likewise, a previously programmed working can be loaded with all operations performed.

This function is used to reload a previously saved working onto the machine.

Import DXF (Optional)

This function loads the state of a working saved in a DXF file.

Import trimming cuts from DXF layout

A slab with its trimming cuts can now be imported into Parametrix by drawing them on a dedicated layer of the DXF file.

The name of the layer dedicated to the trimming cuts must be defined together with a Donatoni technician. Once configured, it can no longer be changed.

Within this layer, each trimming cut must be represented by a line.

WARNING!

When creating the DXF file, the following rules must be observed:
the slab perimeter must be present;
the slab perimeter must be rectangular;
the perimeter sides must be horizontal or vertical and must not be rotated;
each trimming line must be parallel to one of the sides of the rectangle;
there must be no more than one trimming line for each side;
if several lines are drawn for the same side, Parametrix uses only the one closest to the edge.

To import the file, open the DXF layout import page in Parametrix and select the desired file.

Available settings

On the file selection screen, several settings can be changed using the buttons below the preview on the right side of the screen.

	Automatic mode If the selected DXF file does not contain the trimming-cut layer, Parametrix adds the trimming cuts automatically based on the perimeter settings of the http://pannello.Se if the layer is present, priority is given to the trimming cuts defined in the DXF file.
	Magnet mode Parametrix slightly moves the trimming cuts so that they overlap the nearest cut, provided the distance between them is sufficiently small. This automatic correction can help optimise cut execution.
	Magnet distance Defines the maximum permitted distance between a trimming cut and a piece cut for them to be overlapped using magnet mode. Trimming-cut recognition is available both during standard import and during import with Slab Matching.

Examples

The images show a DXF file containing the slab perimeter, pieces and trimming cuts, as well as the result obtained after import into Parametrix.
