Poly Shape

In This Topic

The Poly Shape can be used to create custom individual parts, either by specifying a height and width, specifying a series of up to 20 points, or loading a DXF.

Changing Machined Face

The Poly Shape displays which face is currently being machined on the Part Machining > Machining page.

This can be changed by using the Flip Machined Face checkbox.

Import Points From Timber Panelling

The Poly Shape can import the shape of a Timber Panelling cabinet on the Cabinet Details > Border page using the Import Shape From Timber Panelling button (which is only be visible when the border style of the shape is set to advanced).

To use this option :-

First you need to use the Export To Polyshape button in the Timber Panelling cabinet;
Then you can click the Import Shape From Timber Panelling button in the Poly Shape;
Finally, you just need to paste in the points that were copied from the Timber Panelling cabinet.
- This will change the shape of the Poly Shape to match the points in the Timber Panelling cabinet.

Remove Original Border When Using Offset

When using a border offset in the Poly Shape, you can now remove the original border shape, instead of machining both sets of points as a single shape with a cutout.

This allows you to more easily create a shape that is offset inwards or outwards from the original set of points, without having to manually calculate all the new points.
