Hello Patrick,
Sorry for the delayed response.
For the time being, using the oversizing feature with a SCM post processor will not add additional lengths in your xcs files, only in your cutting list.
You will need to manually increase panel sizes that require oversizing.

Hi Isaac
Ok thanks, I guess that needs to be fixed, not often used other than when we double up tops as we glue together and then route the oversize panel to the second panel size so edging works well.
Cheers

Hello Patrick,
From what I can see, I believe that oversizing added to PolyBoard and then exported to XCS>Maestro will add as a perimeter routing. For the time being, you will need to manually increase your panel sizes when you want oversizing, rather then using the oversizing feature.
I will look into this some more and see if I can find you a solution.
Best regards,
Isaac

Hi Isaac
I have not done that before, but the oversizing does not translate to the XCS files either. I assumed that oversize would add to the net dimensions proportionally and the net plus oversize would be exported in the XCS which is not the case either.

No worries, thanks for letting me know.
Have you added oversizing to components before without it adding a perimeter routing to that component in Maestro?
Thanks,

Hi Isaac
I did the test and it added perimeter routing to all the panels which is not required as that s done in the nesting. The output should not have any perimeter routing at all when the Export whole outline is set to no.
Thanks

Patrick,
Let me know how the testing goes.
In the mean time, I will continue looking at this as well.

Hi Isaac
The perimeter routing s just to the top panels that have no other machining as far as I can see.
There is another issue we found as we just started assembling and found the 5 pieces are all 54mm short to the output sizes. I am looking through from Polyboard to Maestro to see where this is coming from. I will test the suggestion above and see what happens.
Thanks

Hello Patrick,
So is your issue only regarding these top panels?
Please see the following image. Set the “export the whole outline” to “yes”, and test this again.
Please test this and let me know if it has solved your problem.
Best regards,

Hi Isaac
Answers below
– Is there a specific cabinet in this project that is having the problem with the perimeter routing? Its panel 1 of all the tops
– How big is the oversize on the components for the perimeter routing? On that panel I applied a 10mm oversize in both directions, but that does not get output into Maestro.
– What version of PolyBoard are you currently using? I am running the latest version 8.01t
Thanks
Patrick
