Launches are the working documents generated by Corte which are permanently saved as launch files (LAN extension).
A Launch will contain all the data necessary to elaborate and execute in practice an optimized cutting plan for a specific cutting type and material, this last one characterized by its thickness and/or chemistry composition. In other words, a launch will contain all the parts and materials, differed by their dimensions, but that can be combined freely in the same cutting plan.
To create a new launch, select New from the File menu, chose the Initial Configuration and push OK. You can use a Launch Template to read the initial configuration of the launch. Launch templates are special files (PLA extension) used to keep permanently different cutting configurations. They have the same structure as the launch files which means that you can use any launch to create a template. Templates are commonly used to save only options specific to a cutting type or technology, although nothing prevents them from saving other data like the materials, parts or even the calculated cutting patterns.
Note: Corte maintains internally two default templates for configuring Bars and Sheets cutting, respectively. These templates are the files deafultbars.pla and defaultsheets.pla which are both located in the installation folder and will be automatically loaded when selecting the corresponding default initial configuration.
To open an existing launch or template, select Open from the File menu and choose the file type in the box at the bottom of the window displayed.
To save changes, select Save from the File menu.
To save under a different name the launch or template, select Save As from the File menu. Tip: You can use this option to create duplicate files.
To create a launch template, first configure a launch and then save it as a template. There exist two special folders from which Corte always starts loading launches and templates. By default they are, respectively, the sub-folders Launches and Templates of the installation folder.
To change the default folders, select Preferences from the Tools menu. Templates saved in their default folder will be automatically available for selection when creating a new launch. |
