Ⅰ、Introduction
In steel fabrication, certain machining features and common issues recur frequently, requiring identical solutions. The 【Pre-process】?function accelerates operations by allowing pre-configuration of frequently used parameters. During part import, the software automatically executes these preset operations in batch, eliminating manual toolpath edits—significantly improving drafting efficiency and reducing labor costs.
Note: 《》, 【】 in blue font are jumpable tutorial links. Clicking the link allows you to view the detailed parameter description and usage method corresponding to the function.
Ⅱ、Usage Instructions
1.Permission Settings
[Pre-process]?is an exclusive feature of the?Steel Structure Package. If the Pre-process option is not visible in the nesting screen, verify the version type indicated in the red box.
A valid Steel Structure Package license displays as "Steel Structure Package" or "Pro(Steel Structure Package)". Otherwise, request authorization upgrade.
When performing bevel cutting, remember to Enable Beveling Function. Refer to tutorial: 《How to enable beveling》.
?
If your nesting software version is TubesT-H (i.e., Structural Steel), both permissions are enabled by default - no additional activation steps required.
2. Operation Steps
Before importing parts, click 【Pre-process】. Enable desired automated functions, configure parameters, then click [Confirm].
Note: Pre-process configurations modified after import will not apply to previously imported parts.
3. Function Details
?
【Draw Text】
This function mirrors [Draw Text] in [Auto Technique] (parameter details: see ?TubesT-Auto Text).
Unlike Auto Technique, the Pre-process module adds H-beam-specific marking position options:
This function is exclusively available in Pre-process. This feature automatically adjusts fillet radii in bulk when discrepancies exist between drawing specifications and actual tube profiles.
Supported Formats:.t2t, .x2t, .nc1, and parts generated via TubesT [Draw Part]. (For detailed format specifications, refer to: Tube File Format Documentation.)
Supported Tube Types:H-beams、Rectangle.
?
Note: Designed fillet radii should match or slightly exceed the tube's actual profile. Avoid radii smaller than or excessively larger than the tube's native fillet.
