Most punching holes can be fitted individually or multiply on a linear, polar or radial grid. Once you have selected the object to be fitted, the Grid menu is faded in. The following selection is available:
|
Individual |
The punch or mould is fitted individually. No other fitting menu appears. |
|
Linear |
The selected punching tool is fitted multiply. The individual parts are arranged linearly. You define the number of punches and their distance from one another in the Linear fitting menu, as follows: Fitting point: Defines the reference point of the punch pattern. This point is used to position the punch. nx, ny: Defines the number of punching tools in x-/y-direction. dx, dy: Defines the distance of the punches in x-/y-direction. You can specify the value individually for each row.
|
|
Polar |
The selected punching tool is fitted multiply and circularly. The fitting point is the midpoint of the circle. n: Number of standard parts d: Diameter of the circle sa, aa: Start angle and aperture angle |
|
Radial |
The selected punching tool is fitted multiply and circularly on a cylindrical surface. The fitting point is always the midpoint of the circle here. n: Number of standard parts sa, aa: Start angle and aperture angle If you have entered all the values, you still need to identify a cylindrical surface before fitting. |
