Projects and Libraries
What’s a Project?
The format in which MODELA Player 4 saves data is called a “project le.”
The contents of a project le are as follows:
Model data
Process design
Tool-path data
User libraries specied in this le
Opening a project le re-creates the values that have been saved, including the target cutting machine.
What’s a Library?
A database le that is used in cutting a model are called “library.”
Tools and materials that are added are stored in MODELA Player 4 libraries.
Libraries are of the following types:
Material library
Tool library
Cutting parameter library
A library can be classied as either preset library or a user library.
Preset Libraries
These are prepared libraries that come with MODELA Player 4. Their data cannot be deleted or modied.
User Libraries
These are libraries that you add later as required. You can delete and modify their data. The user libraries that are used in a
project are also saved in the project le.
Note:
Including libraries in a project le lets you re-create the contents of the project, even when you open the le on a different
computer. This makes it possible to share the processing work, such as by generating the tool path on one computer and
outputting the cutting data on a different computer.
