The maximum error allowed when calculating points on an arc.
Default: 120 segments per 360º
M00 Command:
Determine what to action to take at a M00 command.
Treat as End of Program: Stop import once M00 command is reached.
Ignore: Bypass M00 command.
Increment Tool: Typically M00 represents the end of the NC program, however some PCB Layout tools imply to Increment the tool number and continue.
Default: Treat as End of Program
Note: It is very import that you know the correct Units, Integer/Decimal digits, Type, Zero Suppression to use before loading the NC files. If after importing NC files, they do not seem to be correct you will need to change these settings and try again.
NC Units:
Units used when importing the NC file. Choose either English or Metric. Sometimes the units are included in the NC header, and sometimes units are not referenced.
Default: English
Integer Digits:
All NC file X/Y coordinate values are stored as integers. Integer Digits precede the decimal point.
Example: If integer digits are 3 and decimal digits 5, coordinate values would reference: XXX.XXXXX
Default: 2
Decimal Digits:
All NC file X/Y coordinate values are stored as integers Decimal Digits are after the decimal point.
Example: If integer digits are 3 and decimal digits 5, coordinate values would reference: XXX.XXXXX
Default: 4
Type:
Choose either Absolute or Incremental value for the type.
Default: Absolute
Zero Suppression:
Determine whether to omit zeros from integer coordinate values.
Decimal: Use only when coordinate values are floating.
