Amada software etching
(OP)
I have Ben trying to etch part numbers on my parts with a fo4020 co2 laser. I can not get sheetworks to take anything but full cuts unless I change the E-code in dr.abe after the nesting. The guy I took over for was able to do it and it shows up as a red line text in the data manager and I think he was using DXF files. My train time with him was short. Any help would be grate.

You can then make them etch using this method, instead of cutting.

I use a certain laser as etch layer and that works fine for me

Go to Pre-Process> unfold reference line> setting
Select/drag the lines you want to etch. Right click after and press complete
This should make the lines pink.
After that, click unfold/merge all button:
Then save your part in the SDD. Open it in Dr.Abe, Those pink lines will now etch.

Hope this helps!

The example i posted above shows the etched lines made pink before confirming the 'outline' of the rest of the part to cut.
Unless anyone can show me a quicker and easier method? :)

First go to Preference in DR.ABE BLANK
goto Toolassignment
goto Path Assignment Method
Then Mark the box for Etch Layer and write the prefered name. For example Etchning
When in 2d autocad
Create New Layer - Etchning
And draw the desired lines or import and change into that layer.
Questions?
