Choose Order->Update/Delete/Print F5.The order header window will appear.

Choose Order->Update/Delete/Print F5.The order header window will appear.

If you prefer the Imperial System type 1 in the Order Code field.

If you prefer the SoftMetric System type 2 in the Order Code field.

If you prefer the European Metric System type 3 in the Order Code field.

Press the Load Order button with the mouse. The order 1 header data will appear on the window.

Press the OK button. The order detail window will appear.

Switch on your printer. Choose the option Reports->Print Bar List with Drawings->Setting 1.

Leave unchanged the data you find on the "Print Bar List with Drawings" window and press OK.

When the program has started printing something, a "Please Wait" window appears. Don't do anything until this window disappears again.

The last row represents the weight for each Bar size/diameter.

Each of the settings represents a different way of printing the bar list, with a number of parameters to tailor it to your needs. If you change the parameters in a setting, they remain with the same value for the next time you print with this setting.

In each window tab there is help on the meaning of every parameter. Here is an explanation on only a few of them:

 

• Sort by. This parameter indicates the sequence in which the rows are printed. In the following sequences Sort Value means one or more values which are chosen when the model is created or modified because the user thinks they should influence the sorting sequence. If you are interested in this field read the end of chapter "Angles and more about masks" in help03 file. There are four sorting sequences available; more could be made on demand:

   

  • 1
    • Machine
    • Location
    • Those which print the mask instead of the drawing on the label come first
    • Model code
    • Sort value
    • Diameter
    • Length
  • 2
    • Machine
    • Location
    • Mark
    • Those which print the mask instead of the drawing on the label come first
    • Model code
    • Sort value
    • Diameter
    • Length
  • 3
    • Location
    • Machine
    • Those which print the mask instead of the drawing on the label come first
    • Model code
    • Sort value
    • Diameter
    • Length
  • 4
    • Location
    • Machine
    • Mark
    • Those which print the mask instead of the drawing on the label come first
    • Model code
    • Sort value
    • Diameter
    • Length

 

• Accumulate : It indicates whether two or more rows which are equal to one another (in the fields: location, machine, mark, model, values and diameter) are accumulated into a single row. This field has no sense if the Sort by field is set to Do not sort.
• Sequential Mark : When entering orders in a previous chapter we said the Mark column in the order is for a mark or number assigned to the pieces on the plan. If you are not interested in recording that mark or number, it is better to leave it empty. If you left it empty when you entered the order and select Sequential Mark, the program will print a sequential number ( 1,2,3,4,... ) in the Mark column. If all rows have the mark field empty and you select this option, the Mark column will print the same as the Row column.
• N. Copies: The number of copies you want to print.
• Select/Setup printer: If you select this field, then you will have the opportunity to change the setting of the printer driver before printing the bar list. You will also be able to select another printer.
• Landscape: If you select this field, then the order will be printed in landscape, thus allowing much more space for the drawings. Of course in landscape you need more pages to print the same order.
• Apply bending gain to Length: If you select it the total bar length will be shorter because it will take the bending gains into account. In another chapter it is explained how to configure these bending gains.
• Apply bending gain to Weight: If you select it the weight will take the bending gains into account.
• Machine (Blank=All): If you inform this field only the rows with that machine will be printed. If you leave it empty, all rows will be printed.
• Maximum Drawing Height in mm: If you fill this field, you will establish the maximum drawing height. If the drawings are smaller you save paper because the same order needs less pages to be printed.
• Varying ranges: Please go to chapter Varying bars for an explanation of this field.
• From Row N. -- to . This two fields indicate the range of rows to be printed. If you leave them empty, all rows will be printed. Be aware that it refers to row numbers on the screen which are not necessarily the same as those on the printed order.

• Columns: Show and Width: You can select what columns are to be shown on the report by selecting them. You can also establish their width. The remaining space will be for the drawing column, so if you are too generous with the width of some columns, it may happen that there's not enough space for the drawing. If the software finds that the width you have typed for some column is too narrow to correctly display the results, it may automatically broaden it without further notice. If the Location column is unchecked, there's more space for the drawing and the location will still be shown on the drawing column. This has the advantage you have more space for the drawing column. Whenever you remove columns or reduce their width you are leaving more space for the drawing.
• Allow change in color. If this box is selected and you have a color printer, the color of the drawing will be that which has been configured. To know how to configure the color go to the chapter Colors and Thickness ( one of the last chapters in the help03 file ). In that chapter it is also explained how to choose the thickness of the drawing lines.

Choose option Reports->Print Bar List without Drawings->Setting 1. You will get a bar list without drawings. The bending lengths are displayed in the following columns: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, J, K, O. The parameters to tailor it to your needs are almost identical to those in "Print Bar List with Drawings".

When printing has finished choose option File--Lose changes and exit.
