About the CNC Setup window :
The CNC Setup window provides general instructions that configure the information which is output to a CNC download file . It also lets you control how the CNC download files are named and batched, etc.
For CNC-type-specific configuration options , the " Options " button on the CNC Setup window opens, for example, the DSTV Options window if the " CNC type " which is associated with your current " CNC configuration " is ' DSTV .' If your current configuratation is for a different " CNC type ," the " Options " button would open a different window. For the ' CNC type ' called ' DXF Plate ,' it would open the DXF Tool Definitions window.
