    The Mach.GeneralTool2 page in the Catalog/Drawing Properties is used to set tool clearance on DrawerBank Cuts and control penetration of screw holes through material separately from other layers.

    Miscellaneous

    Add Text

    Enabling this option allows the descriptive text to be added to machined parts.

    Example: See Mach.General > Text Format page.

    Add Grain Direction Indicators

    If enabled and a grained material has been selected, arrows will show the direction of the grain. These are indicators only, to assist with understanding current grain direction, and do not get machined.

    Export Grain Indicators

    Enabling this will export the grain indicator arrows as part of the machining.

    Tool Clearance on DrawerBank Cuts

    If a drawerbank is cut on the machine, checking this option will allow you to specify a length for tool clearance.

    Saw Blade Thickness

    Allows you to specify the saw blade thickness used to cut up Drawer Banks and is the same as the option on the Construction Standard > Doors/Fronts page.

    Donate/Accept Machining

    Turn off/on 'Universal/Robe' Cabinets to/from Neighbours using check boxes.

    Turn off/on 'Standard' Cabinets to/from Neighbours using check boxes.

    Within cabinets, the parts that touch each other, donate machining to each other (such as construction holes).

    For example where an End butts into the Back, the End will 'donate' the construction holes it needs into the Back (the Back will then 'accept' these holes). The same thing can occur between cabinets (for example, the Back from one cabinet may butt into the End of another).

    This however, is not always desirable and so can be turned on and off using these settings.

     

    Penetration

    These options control penetration of screw holes through material separately from other layers.

    The above 'Penetration' depth is still applied to these parts. For example, if the component’s material is 16mm Thick and Penetration is 0.5mm, and if the cut is to be to 15.5mm, set the depth Reduction to 1mm (16mm + 0.5mm - 1mm = 15.5mm).

    Width

    Penetration will only be applied When Width less than or equal to the value stated in the edit box.

    Border

    Allows you to Reduce Border depth by the value stated in the edit box. See example above.
