I have recently been tasked with providing programming support to the laser/punch department, I have a CNC background but have been thrust into this role after a long time employee left the company. We use Amada machines for punch and laser and hace a Mitsubishi Laser also. For cad I am using solidworks, FabriWin for punch programs, laser programs and nesting is done on the floor using Accufab.

Of course I can find no manuals and the maintenece is up for Fabriwin and accufab. one problem I am running into is when I create a dxf for the laser machine I do not know how the cutting condition is controlled, I can see when they post the nested program on the floor macro variables are generated the control the feed for internal and external cuts but I have no idea how accufab(Ncell) determines this cutting condition from the dxf. Any advice would be appreciated.
