When sending out a job from CabMaster (or any AMS product), sometimes parts of the machining will not appear after we have nested the job.

Example of Missing Layer

 

 

This can happen because EzyNest has not been instructed what to do with the layer name, and if it does not appear in the list, it will not draw the layer, or toolpath the layer.

Find Missing Layer in ATP

In EzyNest, open the ATP  and ...

• on the Parts tab, load the parts i.e. 'Add List File', as shown in example.

• now go to the Maps tab (previous versions 'Define Layers') and click on 'Use Parts'...
  • if there are any new layers, these will appear in the list as Strategy 'not assigned', as per example 'SHELF' below;

 

Applying Strategies

After finding the missing layers, apply an appropriate strategy to the layers.

• Using the example above, we will apply a 5mm drill Strategy to the shelf layer
• The Design Depth is determined by the Strategy’s depth (which in this case was defined in the name of the strategy)
  • Design Depth and Strategy depth must be the same. 
  •  Watch the Video below and see notes on Design Depth.

After these changes have been made, you can press the 'Save ATP file' button to make your changes permanent.
