Summary

This example covers the steps necessary to configure your Presets to allow for Consolidation of Saw File per Group, Consolidation of Piece Label per Truss with Number Restart per Group R1, B1, W1. This is an example of the Assembly report with the applied settings.

Steps

Consolidation of Saw File per Group, Consolidation of Piece label per Truss with Number Restart per Group R1, B1, W1

1.  In the main Project List window, select Presets.

2.  Select Piece Labeling and Sequencing, and information displays to the right.

The Preset Manager > Fabrication > Piece Labeling and Sequencing window below displays the selections used to produce this example.

3.  For Process Unit > Cutting Output Consolidation By, select Group so the saw file will consolidate pieces across project even if the pieces do not have the same name.

4.  For Piece Labeling and Sequencing, select the following:

  • For Piece Label Prefix, select Custom Prefix per Piece Type.

  • Use standard labeling, except for Top Chord, use R.

  • Select Restart per Piece Type, so that each piece number starts with number 1.
  • Select Chord Labeling Sequence > Left to Right Position on Truss, so the piece on the left side starts with the lowest number and higher number as you go left.
  • Select Web Labeling Sequence > Left to Right Position on Truss, so the piece on the left side starts with the lowest number and higher number as you go left.

6.  Select Piece Label Consolidation > Consolidate by Truss, so only pieces in the same truss will have identical labels.
