Introduction

This document provides instructions for using the Drill Points Editor.

Procedure

Step 1 - Trace the Frames

Select Option 3 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 2 – Frame Database Editor and press Enter.

Select Option 7 – Store Trace in Library and press Enter.

• The tray number is the number entered at the tracer for this S
• The following five fields are a reference for searches in Order Entry.
  • Frame Name
  • Mfr/Model
  • Frame type or Shape
  • Frame Eyesize
  • Frame Bridge
• The last field, “Other Information,” must start with “EDGE” for Order Entry to create a usable tracing for the edger.

• Alternatively, there must be an entry enabled in Menu 3-6-6 Custom Configurations, as shown in the following diagram:

Step 2 - Enter the Drill Points

The points or features are entered individually and linked to each appropriate Frame Library Shape.

Select Option 12 – Frame Parts Inventory and press Enter.

Select Option 1 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 7 – Drill Points Editor and press Enter.

The Frame Drill Point Editor displays.

• Press "Q" to perform a search for the frame.
• Enter the search data and press Escape to return the results.

• Press "D" to access the Frame Point table.

The brackets are now in the lower portion of the screen.

• Press "A" to add each feature. Multiple features are usually required.

The cursor moves to the Reference field.

We only support references from the Edge. Not Center or Box.

The Group and Order are usually not significant but can decrease the drill movement from side to side.

Holes are most common and don’t require an X-end or Y-end.

The driller’s manual probably explains more complex features.

• Enter all applicable data pressing Enter after each field.
• Press Escape to save the data.

Issues/Limitations

1. The edger/driller must auto-initialize, or accept the receipt of DRILL or  DRILLE labels.
2. A static number links the drill points. If a frame saved in the Frame Library comes in 4 eye sizes, you must enter all the frame features 4 times.
