Loading of editable appraisers
Appraisers are loaded during program startup according to the instructions specified in PacorBat.ini. Each appraiser is loaded using the LoadExternalGrading command which admits the modifier flags /edit, /profile, and /parents with the following meaning:
...
Switching of active appraiser in the editor does not entail switching of active appraiser in the optimization module.
Intervals editing
All editable intervals are classified into cut parameters and symmetry parameters based on their name prefix: names starting with Restriction_ denote cut parameters, and those starting with Variation_ are considered symmetry parameters. Cut parameters may have arbitrary values. Symmetry parameters always have left border 0, which is not specified in the file and not available for editing.
...
To save the changes, click Save. There are three equivalent Save buttons: on the Appraiser interval editor panel, on the Appraiser Profile panel, and on the Appraiser tab of the main application window.
Recalculation of optimization forms
For correct working of the optimization routine, the optimization forms must be recalculated (rebuilt) after the change of intervals. Being a time-consuming operation, it is not initiated automatically, and has to be started manually by clicking Recalculate cutting , or Recalculate all cuttings (if more than one cutting type were changed).
...
Creation and editing of profiles
An appraiser may contain multiple profiles. A profile contains interval borders for all cutting types, as well as the starting and optimization forms. It is impossible to have profiles with different cuts, or with different methods of grading of the same cuts. The profiles may differ only in the interval borders and the sets of forms.
...
Some predefined profiles are made read-only.
Application 1. Creating a new cut
Earlier appraisers contained just a single list of intervals, a list of optimization parameters, the start form, and the optimization forms. Modern format of editable appraiser (Version=7) is more complex and agile. For an appraiser to work, one has to specify the following:
