Splitting
Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

This option allows you to split a job into pieces and then mark them part by part.

That automatic split marking is useful e.g. for marking round objects or objects that are bigger than the working area.

Jobs are always split completely as long as there are no entities marked as non-splittable.

The following image shows an example. It shows the mode Angular Splitting with the option Fixed Size Splitting.

The Splitting Dialogs can be reached via the Extras Toolbar or by selecting the appropriate menu item. If the extra toolbar is not visible, it can be activated at System → Settings → View → Toolbars → Extras.

You can save the splitting settings within the job file. Please refer to the Job Properties Topic for more information.

Splitting will be divided into the Splitting Mode and the Splitting Option. The availability can be found in the table below:
