To draw the chosen sawing pattern on the diamond, press the Draw Lines button. A new template template with new type of lines - "Sawing" - is used to form the line to draw.
Program checks presence of given new type of lines "Sawing" in active template. If there is no such Sawing lines then program check others templates on presence of this type and such template could be found then program makes it active. If there is no any loaded template with Sawing lines then program creates new template with Sawing lines and makes it active.
This template is the same as template in file This template can be loaded from the DrawLineTemplate.dlt file (distributed located in root folder of program with distributive) , C:\Program Files (x86)\OctoNus Software\Pacor Client 6 by default) that could be loaded by executing the Import Draw Line Template... command from the menu of the Marking-out panel. The template uses a new line type, Sawing, as an addition to the line types introduced earlier (Diamond, Layer, and и Bound). The settings of the template from the DrawLineTemplate.dlt file are so that different line styles correspond to different stages: Solid line for Stage 1, Dotted line for Stage 2, Dashed line for Stage 3, and Long Dashed line for Stage 4 and all the following stages. Hereafter, it is useful to save the startup file of the application with this template or with another template built on the basis of a similar scheme and more suitable for the needs of a specific enterprise.
Pie Option
At the moment, the algorithm tries to choose the sawing plane so that to separate one or several diamonds from the other diamonds and then recursively processes the residual pieces. If a single plane is not enough to complete this task, the Pie algorithm is used. This algorithm implies cutting off a piece by means of two half-planes, which is similar to cutting a pie. Since not every manufacturer is armed with such a technology of diamond sawing, there is a special checkbox, "Use 'Pie' option for sawing process", in the Options panel of the Marking-out tab.
