5.21.8. ini files
In the folder where ProMotion® Nest is installed, there is a folder named ini. That folder contains some configuration files, which
are really useful in some cases.
The format of each ini file is the same. The format is:
ID, TYPE, DATA, INFO
ID is the identification number of that setting. Do not change it!
TYPE is the type of the DATA. Do not change it!
DATA is the actual setting. You can modify this.
INFO is a short description of the setting. You can modify this, if you want to.
This is an example from tools.ini
10,1,1,DNC COM Port [default: 1]
ID = 10
TYPE = 1
DATA = 1
INFO = DNC COM Port [default: 1]
A brief description of some ini files:
tools.ini is probably the most important of ini files. There you can change the behavior of some tools and set some error margins.
The settings here are such that you shouldn’t need to touch these in most of the cases. These settings are for special cases where
standard is not working well enough.
ui.ini contains some settings related to the user interface.
5.21.9. Command line parameters
There are a couple of command line parameters which can be used when starting ProMotion® Nest.
-min Starts the software with its window minimized.
-is This parameter must be used with a cnc file. When using this parameter ProMotion® Nest reads the file in with raw import. After
that it sends the file to cutting, trashes the nesting and minimizes itself. This parameter is useful only when using an iCNC controller.
Example of usage:
pmnest.exe -is C:\CuttingPrograms\testFile.eia
