MaxMotion for Machines Chapter 12-185

plate size for the job. This plate size is for reference only within the

context of the MaxMotion software. It is for visual feed back. Nor-

mally, the engraver is only interested in sending the job to the machine

where a plate with a proper size is already set on the table. The plate

size boundary on the computer screen is shown with a gray shadow.

However, sometimes there is a need for the user to cut out the size of

the plate from a larger size material. MaxMotion has the capability to

make the plate boundary an active part of the job for the output as

opposed to it being simply a reference outline.

The process is called cutting the design window. Design a job as usual.

Go to Graphics menu and select ‘Cut Design Window’ and watch the

gray shadow disappear from around the design plate. The plate bound-

ary will be sent for engraving purposes along with the rest of the job.

A hint: If you want to use a different tool for the boundary cutting

operation such as beveler, send the job first without selecting the Cut

Design Window command. Once the job is complete, change the tool to

a desired tool. Change the depth of cut in the materials menu, if

necessary. Apply the Cut Design Window tool. Next, select only the

plate boundary. Send the job to the machine. Only the selected part of a

complete job will be executed. Your job will have a beveled edge.

Change View Only

Change View Only command will allow the user to create its own

stationery templates or use Solustan provided stationery templates.

The stationery part of the template shows up in green color. The

stationery part cannot be moved, scaled, or deleted. The stationery part

of the template will not be sent to a machine for engraving.

Here is how a standard active black line or shape can be converted

to stationery lines:

Select the lines or shapes by clicking or shift clicking them. The blue

dots will signify selection of lines or shapes. Go to the ‘Graphics’ pull

down menu and click select ‘Change View Only’. The black lines
