Sheets

Sheets

Using sheets is an extremely efficient concept for handling parts.

A sheet represents the sheet of material for a job. Every model has a Default Sheet, although you can create as many sheets as you want. Sheets are named Sheet, are numbered consecutively, and are independent of vector layers.

New sheets are displayed in the 2D view, and selected in the sheet stack in the Project Tree. Only one sheet can be active at a time, so the purpose of each sheet is clear and so you cannot make accidental changes to other sheets. The model area shown in the 2D view is always associated with the active sheet. All sheets are labelled in the 2D view.

When a sheet is inactive, you can see its vector artwork in the 2D view even when the vector layers are invisible.

Select a sheet to display its tools below the splitter bar:

Button	Function
	Click the New Sheet button to create a sheet at the top of the stack.
	Click the Sheet Report button to create a sheet report.
	Click the Delete Sheet button to delete the active sheet.
Name	Enter a name for the sheet.

 

Although Carveco generates sheets of vectors when you use the Nesting or Multi-Plate tools, Carveco gives you complete control over the number of sheets in a model.
