Array function does not cut one part at a time

Post by beefy3 »

Plasma cutting.
I have a "part" which consists of 24 holes in a row, plus a single open line. This is imported as one part / drawing despite being a row of holes with an open line.I put the holes on a separate layer. Then I create a drilling operation to plasma mark the holes, all OK.
Next create a plasma cutting operation for the straight open line.
I now array this "part" to give a total of 12 parts. However, now all of the holes all over the plate are marked at once, then all the open lines are marked. This is bad news for me.
I need to mark the first parts holes, then do the first parts open line.
Next do the 2nd parts row of holes and its' open line.
Next do the 3rd parts row of holes and its' open line, and so forth.
At one point I had it working but no matter what I do now I can't get the parts to fully complete before moving to the next one.

Look under the job options menu adn the nesting tab. You can select "keep parts together" Try that option and it should do what you want.

Array function does not cut one part at a time

Post by beefy3 »

Thanks Marius,
I'd previously tried that but it didn't work. I'd got to the desperate stage and started browsing outside the tool & operation boxes, and I came across that one so tried it.
