Universal Setup Machine - Part Management and Troubleshooting

Important

Much like the machine Properties dialog, the machine Setup dialog options depend on the output format you selected in the machine Properties dialog: Comprehensive Data Import (CDI), Comprehensive Data Import (CDI) - Includes Full Library Support, or Comprehensive Import (CI2 - Includes Full LIbrary Support).

To access the Universal Setup dialog, select Part Management and Troubleshooting in the Machine List window (in the Process Definition window).
Select the Setup button.

Tip

In the machine Setup dialog, use the mouse/pointer to hover over each dialog field to learn more. You can also consult your Universal machine documentation for details about specific fields in each dialog.

(Optional) Use CAD Coordinates is a setting that will try and take the coordinates imported from the CAD file and export them into the generated machine program/ This setting ignores any origin set in the Board Geometry area or the ECAD view in the Process Definition window.
(Optional) To treat all images in the Process Definition window as a single board, select the Treat All Images as Single Board check box.
(Optional) Select the Clear Setup button to erase machine setup settings. When the confirmation message displays, select Yes to clear all the Setup dialog settings.

Tip

The Clear Setup button can be very useful. If there are problems with the generated program, use the Clear Setup button and proceed through the machine interface again to address potential rotational, location, and assignment problems.
