AS we have Scibing/ powder marking, this option is available under the MT Defaults and activated in there, options exist to allow for partial line at attachment object corners. The output is in the PU bloc of the NC Code and notates the poweder mark as a line element with co-ordinates to form an L Shape at attachment corner, if set to partial line.
for some NC machines Scribe option is not availalble, they only have option to punch mark , this is normally performed with a drill spotting the location of the realtive mark required.
There are Punch marks in AS, they are under the Hole types, change from hole to Center mark, this places a mark in the model and you can use hole group placments to manually place these in the model at part attachment locations, mostly manually, some jonit have these options.
If there was an option to place punch marks at attachment poiints , like the powder marking does, then automatically these points would be created, then placed in the BO/KO Bloc for NC, so it can be controlled for spotting with a drill at a single point. At present i can find option to change the bloc from PU to KO, but this still leaves the Corordinates for the line marking, thus casueing the NC machine to drill a series of spot marks with the drill head.
So the Idea is to have MT Default option to create a punch mark at attachment corner point automatically, to give a single desiginated point by co-ordrinates and define this as a Center Mark in the NC File code to spot drill to mimiumn defined size.
