Adding a Workpiece Shape

If you want to use a workpiece having a shape other than a circle (ellipse), quadrilateral, or diamond, you need to add the shape. You can use either of two methods to register a shape with Dr. METAZA.

Acquiring the shape of a workpiece with a scanner

Creating the shape using a commercial paint-type program

If you have a scanner, we recommend using the first method. The second method can be used if the shape of the workpiece cannot easily be acquired with the scanner, or if you don't have a scanner.

Acquiring the Shape of a Workpiece with a Scanner

Use a TWAIN_32-compliant scanner to scan the shape (outline) of the workpiece.

If you are using a flat-bed scanner, you can scan the workpiece as it is. If you are using another type of scanner, then copy the shape of the workpiece to a piece of paper and scan the paper to acquire the shape.

Place the workpiece on the scanner. Alternatively,

1 place a sheet of paper onto which the workpiece has been copied on the scanner.

2

Operate the scanner driver to scan the shape of the

3 workpiece.

For the number of colors, select "Black and White" (binary). For information about how to operate the scanner driver, refer to the user's documentation for the scanner.

When scanning ends, the [Add Material] dialog box

4 appears.
