This dialog displays the settings for the individual setup sheets and enables you to set the options in the configuration file using the user interface. To display it, click the
Ellipsis
button on the
Electrode Setup Sheet Control dialog.
Name — This is the name of the setup sheet on the Electrode Setup Sheet Control dialog. If the Name of the sheet is changed, the change is also made to the name of the sheet on the Electrode Setup Sheet Control dialog. You can make the name change valid for an electrode, electrode session or change the default name using the options on the Electrode Setup Sheet Control dialog.
View — If you want to configure the settings for a particular view, select the view from the list. The All views setting enables you to change the default options.
Use the Dimensions area to add dimensions for different attributes of the electrode:
- Blank
- Base
- Frame
- Burn area
- Work piece
- Electrode position
The dimensions that can be displayed on the drawings depend on the view direction. You define this by selecting an option from the View list.
- If you select All views and all the views are not in the same direction, you can set X, Y, and Z dimensions. This is the default view and the only dimensions that you can display are those associated with the Blank.
- If you select a top view, you can include X and Y dimensions in your drawing.
- If you select a side view, you can include Z and X or Y dimensions on your diagram.
- If you select a different view, you can include X, Y, and Z dimensions on your diagram
- If your electrode template generates additional views on a Setup Sheet, the names of those views are displayed in the View list. Selecting an alternative View from the list enables you to dimension different attributes of the electrode.
All the following options correspond to options in the configuration file, electrode_setupsheets.con, which is located in:
