Background
Shapes are most obviously defined by an image overlaid with dimensions, saw cuts, and thread ends, but also have other properties which may be set.
| Property | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Dimensions | Number of dimensions in the shape. For example, a S bar has a single dimension, an L bar has two dimensions, a TH bar has 6 dimensions, and so on. |
| Bends | Number of bends in the shape. For example, a S bar has no bends, an L bar has a single bend, a TH bar has 5 bends, and so on. |
| Maximum Length | Maximum length of the shape when scheduled For example, if an S bar has a maximum length of 9000 and an S bar is scheduled for 12000, it will not be allowed. |
| Bend Gain factor | |
| Local Adjustment Factor | |
| Length Formula | The formula to use to determine shape length. If the length formula is empty, the shape length will be determined by totaling the measured dimensions. |
| Pin Size Calculation | The calculation to use for determining the pin size to use when producing the shape. If left blank, the default calculation will be used to determine pin size. |
| Deleted | Whether or not the shape is marked as deleted. Checked means the shape is marked as deleted; unchecked means the shape is active. |
