Marker:Auto Save Of Markers

From OptiTexHelpEn
Jump to: navigation, search

Enabling the Auto Save of Markers command will divide one order into several markers when necessary. Examples of why the entire order cannot be cut out of one marker are when the fabric can only be spread so long due to shading, lack of spreading tables, or the fabric is sold in sheets.

If the auto nesting marker becomes full, no additional pieces can be placed within the marker limit, then a second marker will be created. The marker limit is defined in the Marker Definitions command in the Marker menu. The new marker will be given a name that is similar to the initial file name, but the last two letters will be changed to a dash (-) and a number.

For example, if the original file is titled MARKER.MRK, all overflow files will be given the name(s) MARKER-1.MRK, MARKER-2.MRK and so on.
