Part Import

Parts can be imported either through drag and drop or clicking the Open button and selecting the parts option where you can select single or multiple batches of part to import.

As parts are imported a validation for material naming and thickness is performed, where thickness is usually driven from a 3D CAD file and 2D is manually set.

If the material name is unknown or not available to be read then you can assign this by right clicking on the part in question or you can batch select parts by holding down the control or shift keys and group selecting them.

Clicking the assign material button will bring up a list of available materials that you can select from and then once selected the parts will be tooled up for the available machines.

Once parts are tooled you can review the status by hovering over the individual machine icons or as a simple visual check you can see the icon color codes where they have the following meaning.

• White icon means the part is successfully tooled.
• Yellow icon means there is a warning.
• Red icon means there was a significant problem in tooling the part.
• Any non-colored icons signify that the part has either not been sent for tooling or is not feasible but in all cases hovering over the icon will display additional information on the status
