The Easy Match function allows the background that the pieces will have in their original designed position to be viewed in real time while moving them on the workbench over a slab.

Buttons

After pressing the button, the following panel opens:

	Side-by-side view Displays both the project preview and the workbench on the same screen.
	Preview view Allows the pieces to be moved by clicking inside the piece perimeter, making it possible to position the piece more precisely in the desired position.
	Workbench view Allows the pieces to be moved on the workbench using the entire screen.
	Save preview Saves an image representing the preview of the current project.
	Edit preview Opens a screen for changing the arrangement of elements within the project preview.

Preview view

Allows the pieces to be moved by clicking inside the piece perimeter, making it possible to position the piece more precisely in the desired position.

The preview displays all pieces from the imported file in the exact positions in which they were designed.
The preview dimensions correspond at a 1:1 scale to the dimensions of the designed pieces.
Pieces added to the workbench take on the colour of the slab, while those still to be added have a uniform background.

From the preview it is possible to:

• Add a piece to the work area by clicking inside the area to be processed.

• Move a piece located on the workbench.

• Select a piece on the workbench by clicking inside the piece.

• Delete a piece from the preview by selecting the eraser below the pieces list and then selecting the piece to be deleted in the preview. In this case, the piece will also be deleted from the workbench and the pieces list.

Workbench view

Classic Parametrix workbench view. Allows the pieces to be moved on the workbench using the entire screen.

Side-by-side view

The following screen opens:

The user is asked to choose the preview name, whether to save it as an image or PDF, where to save it and its resolution.
For the resolution, choose between auto (automatic resolution), low, medium, high, ultra and custom (the operator selects the exact resolution).

Workflow

To work using Easy Match, the project must be imported into Parametrix from a DXF file.
The program displays a Book Match preview relating to the pieces in the file.

After taking a photo of the workbench, the pieces to be cut can be inserted on the slab.
This can be done using the standard procedure from the pieces list or by pressing inside the perimeter of one of the pieces shown in the preview.

Dragging the piece from the preview also moves it on the slab, which is useful for matching the veining between the various pieces.
The reverse can also be done: drag the piece on the slab and use the preview to check whether the veining matches according to where it is moved.

At this point, continue with the standard working procedure: create the ISO program and cut the slab.
Once complete, press the button to move to the next working.
The project progress status is saved in the preview.
Proceed by acquiring the photo of a new slab and inserting the pieces within the perimeter.

Continue in this way until the project is complete.
