208 MaxMotion for Machines
You can imagine many such scenario. Now, let us see how simple it is
to use the feature.
Position the material wherever you want on the machine. Define a
rectangular area within which you want the engraving to be done
regardless of the shape of the material.
Next, pull up the Control Pad and lock the mouse by clicking on it a
few times.
Move the machine to one of the corners of the rectangle within
which you want the engraving to be done. Depress āSā key for
starting the SmartPlate operation. Move the machine again with
the help of the Control Pad to the diagonally opposite corner of the
defined rectangle. Depress āEā key to end the operation. The
machine will move immediately to the starting position of the
rectangle and the plate size on the screen will change to the just
defined size. Now, all you have to do is to design your job and keep it
within the rectangle. As soon as you give a command to engrave the
job, the engraving will take place in the proper and intended area on the
material.
