Allow define measurement units for the system.

Measurements are based on the units used in the imported model. Output data (NC) is created using the same units. Consequently, in order to obtain an NC program for a CNC milling unit in millimeters (inches), all measurements of a model must be in millimeters (inches).

Angular measurements are given in degrees with decimals.

The <Default parameters> panel defines a file with description of initial parameters for new operations. The <Edit> button opens a window for the file editing.

  • The <Tolerance (digits)> value defines digits count after decimal separator for values which are outputted into the NC-program. It is recommended to set the value to equal or greater for one than the maximal NC-machine tolerance (or digits count after decimal separator for the NC-program).

  • The <Time format> field defines a format for the time output (for the machining time for example).

  • The <Use vulgar fraction> – using in system vulgar fraction.
