Outline Editor

The outline editor is opened via the Utilities > Master data menu path, in the same way as plot frames and forms. The functionality of the outline editor depends on the outline type ("Outline extrusion" or "Outline NC record generation") to be created and thus on the selected file type (*.fc2 or *fc1):

Note:

Please note that subsequent changes to the Outline type property are not possible.

A created / drawn outline is always saved as an independent file in the format of the relevant master data type, in the special <Program Drive>: \<Program Directory>\Macros\<Company Code< directory.
Sometimes it is also necessary to save additional data such as machine-based information for NC programs or logics, as well as saving the actual outline drawing.

The general outline drawings created for customized mounting rails, etc., can include several outlines that do not intersect. By contrast, an outline drawing from which NC records are to be generated must contain only a single closed outline.
