5.13.7 Using Graphics Display to Program Both Sides of a Board
Program images are imported with File > Import Board Image > First Side > Second Side. The Second
Side is used when the board or pallet is inverted. If you import both First Side and Second Side images,
both images will be displayed in the Graphics Display simultaneously only when you have the Main
Pattern selected and an Invert instruction is present in the Main Pattern.
Only the First Side image is displayed on the Operator screen. If you import images into the Main Pattern,
then the First Side image is not used for editing, but is still displayed on the Operator screen. This allows
you to use a different image for the Operator screen such as one with the board part number or load
instructions on it.
To use graphics display to program both sides of a board, each images should be imported directly into its
own pattern. Pattern images are imported by selecting an image file through the pattern Image Name 1
and Image Name 2 properties. After the program is completed, the patterns should be executed from the
Main Pattern with a Place Pattern instruction. An Invert command must be placed between the Place
Pattern instructions to invert the board.
To import images into a pattern:
1. Create a new product program as described in 5.9.1 Creating Product Programs.
2. Create a new pattern for the first side of the board as described in 5.9.3 Creating a Pattern.
3. Make sure the “Side1” pattern is highlighted. If not click on it.
4. Click on
Image Name 1 in the Property List and then on the More button and select the
image for Side 1.
