The default resolution is 1000000 pixels. The specified number of pixels is used in X or Y depending on which is the largest dimension in the assembly or replica mesh. Model from mesh resolution - Enter the resolution of a relief created from an assembly or a mesh.When Click To Slide Autohidden Panes is selected, this behaviour is disabled and you have to click on hidden panels to slide them out. Click To Slide Autohidden Panes - By default, when you position the cursor over a hidden panel, it slides out.Save all files in Model or Project directory - Select this option to save all files from ArtCAM to the same folder on your computer in which the current ArtCAM Model (.If deselected, the Material Setup dialog starts with the last material thickness used, unless the current relief is thicker, in which case the relief thickness is still used.ĪrtCAM displays the view that was active when you last saved the model. Use relief thickness - If selected, the Material Setup dialog starts with the material thickness set to the thickness of the relief if no material thickness has been set.Draw Rapid & Plunge Moves - Rapid and plunge moves are shown in all simulated toolpaths in the 3D view by default.
This enables you to see how effectively the later tools avoid regions already machined by earlier tools. When deselected, the 2D toolpath simulation draws the later tools on top of the earlier tools within a toolpath group. This shows which material was removed by which tool. Reverse 2D Simulation Order - When selected, the 2D toolpath simulation draws the earlier tools on top of later tools within a toolpath group.Show Cutting Direction - Select this option to show the cutting direction of all 2D toolpath previews in the 2D view.Use 3D Bridges by default - Select this option to use bridges with a triangular cross-section and without any associated retract or plunge moves.
Engraving Retry Limit - This value limits the amount of times ArtCAM tries to recalculate the toolpath for a subsequent tool of a Smart Engraving toolpath after encountering a problem. Use Engraving engine for Area Clear - The Engraving toolpath calculating engine is recommended if you are machining small areas of material with fine detail. Select this option to start machining the offset toolpath at the outside edge and work inwards. Start Offset Machining at edge - Offset toolpaths usually start machining at the centre and work outwards. Enter a value in the Default Raster Angle box to set the default angle for toolpaths that use a raster machining strategy. Default Raster Angle - A raster machining strategy machines in passes back and forth along a specified angle. Select this option to set climb milling as the default cutting direction used in toolpaths. Use Climb Milling by default - Climb Milling rotates the tool bit in the same direction as the feed motion. Simulation Block Material - Change the default colour used for the material block when rendering simulations. Default Toolpath Simulation Colour - Change the default colour assigned to tools when simulating toolpaths. Rulers - Change the colour of the rulers displayed in the 3D view. Control Handle Style - Select whether to use the Circus Polka style or Classic Wire style for control handles in the 2D view. Unselected - Change the colour associated with locked vectors when deselected. Selected - Change the colour associated with locked vectors when selected. Relief Clipart Outline - Change the colour associated with the outline of relief clipart when not selected. Selected - Change the colour associated with a selected grouped vector. Selected Toolpath Preview - Change the colour associated with a selection of 2D toolpath previews.
Overlaying - Change the colour associated with two or more overlapping vectors. Multiple Selected - Change the colour associated with two or more selected ungrouped vectors. Selected - Change the colour associated with a selected ungrouped vector. Click a colour swatch to display the Colour dialog and select a different colour to assign to the different elements. The default colours and settings that are currently used for each of the drawing elements are displayed.
