Round-Seg Blocking - This setting controls the blocking method used for rounds segs. Available options are “Swing Blocking” and “Up-Down Blocking”

”Swing Blocking” means the lens will be blocked like a flat top - the blank will be rotated (or swung) at the time of blocking to put the segment in the correct location, using a location IN and DOWN on the blocker. The GAX is the same as the cylinder axis on the job.

”Up-Down Blocking” means the lens will be blocked with the segment positioned straight down. The GAX will be adjusted by the amount necessary to put the segment in the correct location on the frame, when it is rotated after generating. The blocker will show the segment located straight down, by the distance of the segment drop for the blank in question.
