AccuMark™ Professional Edition What’s New 8.5.0 Changes since 8.4.1

New Easy Applications

Three new Easy applications have been added for AccuMark 8.5.0: Easy Plan, Easy Order, and Easy Marking

Easy Plan

Use this form to input all of the necessary data together to plan a cut order and

generate orders and markers

Easy Plan

Easy Plan is a new software component for the AccuMark family that allows you to easily create a simple Cut Plan and automatically create the AccuMark orders and markers to fill the cut plan

This form also provides the ability to make markers automatically by using Layrules, or sending jobs to Batch and utilizing all the Batch options to generate marker and reports data

Page 6 of 49

Select the Easy Plan icon from the AccuMark Utilities page of the GERBER LaunchPad

to display the Easy Plan Editor Use this form to input all of the necessary data together

to plan a cut order and generate orders and markers You can also open Easy Plan by selecting a Model in AccuMark Explorer, right clicking, then choosing “Easy Plan” from the Open With menu

Creating a Cut Plan using Easy Plan

Easy Plan is set up in steps to help you easily proceed through the necessary fields to create a cut plan Prior to entering cut information, configure the Easy Plan to suit your needs:

Settings:

In the Settings area, specify a prefix that will be used when creating markers The

prefix will be the first part of the marker name Each marker created will be numbered sequentially when “Calculate Markers” is performed For example, if you enter “123-“ as the prefix, the markers created during the cut plan will be named 123-0, 123-1, 123-2, 123-3 and so on Only valid characters such as letters, numbers, spaces and dashes are accepted

• • Max Ply allows you to enter maximum number of fabric plies you will allow per

cut section The valid range is 1-200

• • Max Bundle is the maximum number of bundles you wish to have per marker

The valid range is 1-1000

• • Even # per model is used when requesting markers utilizing Half Piece

Sharing or Cutdown Pieces A minimum of two bundles per marker will then be calculated

• • Effort is a modifier that controls the complexity of cut planning Slide this bar to

increase/decrease the complexity of cut planning The default value is 12 The valid range goes from 0 – 100 Increasing the effort will increase the number of possible solutions checked While it will take a correspondingly longer time to process, it will also increase the chances of better solution

Order Settings:

Under Order Settings, click the look up button to select the corresponding Template

Order that AccuMark will use to generate orders and markers The Template Order contains the Fabric Width, Annotation table, Lay Limits and Notch table being used in the orders This order should be saved in the same storage area as the model(s)

selected for Easy Plan The model, size and quantity fields must be left blank; Easy Plan will fill this information in based on your cut orders In the Order Settings you may also enter the fabric type for the cut order being planned
