AccuMark GMS Professional Edition Whats New Version 1.2.

Piece Counts in Marker Making Before this release, the fold option in marker making created one folded piece for tubular goods. The only way to create an added piece was through the split piece function. However, this method did not keep track an accurate count of the left and right pieces. Piece counts are now automatically updated when using folded pieces on tubular goods. The user can choose to keep one piece, or add an additional piece when folding. The left and right piece counts are maintained to ensure the proper number of pieces in the completed marker. If a folded piece needs to be opened again, the user is prompted to delete the additional piece that was added. The Tubular folding option for the added piece is located in the marking Settings options.

The Fold function is activated by choosing Fold from the marking Toolbox.

Enhanced Matching Enables Better Throughput for Invision Users A new option has been added to marking Settings to enable control of matched piece locations with regard to bites on a Gerbercutter. The system now checks for matches between pieces that double back across a bite. If this case is identified by the system, the piece can only be placed in the same bite.

Option to Highlight Piece Perimeter A new option has been added to Marker Making Settings to control the highlighting of the current piece. Check the box to highlight entire piece or uncheck to highlight only the piece perimeter.

New Marking functions Float The Float function moves a highlighted piece away from nearby pieces by a specified buffer amount. The buffer amount is defined in the Settings dialog and applied using the keyboard function key - F.

Step The Step function allows a user to move a piece a specified distance in the marker. The amount of movement is predefined in the Marker Settings dialog box and the function is activated using the keypads to control the direction of the piece.
