Part Options 249
Align
This screen is used to align the current part in memory into one of the four corners of the plate for
cutting. This function also allows for skewed plates to be taken into account when aligning the part.
Part Alignment is used to position a part or nest of parts, on to a squared plate so that it will fit on to
the plate. This is commonly with parts that have an internal pierce point such as a flange.
Skew Alignment is used to position a part or nest of parts, on to a skewed or angled plate so that it
will fit accurately onto the plate without going over the edges. This is commonly used with a nest of
parts which has little margin of error for placement of the nest on to the plate.
