Dovetail MTS
Name
Enter the unique MTS name.
Description
Enter the description for this setting.
Wood size
Maximum width
Enter the maximum distance allowed between two adjacent vertical dovetail lines.
Maximum height
Enter the maximum distance allowed between two adjacent horizontal dovetail lines.
Minimum section
Enter the minimum size for an end section (see below). This value is used to restrict the point to which a dovetail line can be dragged.
Dovetail geometry
Length
Enter the length of a single dovetail.
Depth
Enter the depth of each dovetail.
Repeat
Enter the distance between successive dovetail sections.
Fillet
Enter the radius of the fillet to be added at each dovetail corner.
Angle
Enter the angle of the side of the dovetail.
Palette
From the drop-down list choose the palette that will be used for the dovetail split lines.
Create dovetail sections in new layer
Select this option to create a new layer in which to place the new geometry.
Layer name
Select the required layer name.
Separate sections on creation
Check this option to create a gap between each section when the dieboard has been split. Otherwise the sections will remain in their original positions.
Place each section into a new block
Check this option if you want the geometry for each split section to be placed into a separate block.
Block name
Enter the root block name. Each one will be made unique by having a sequential number appended to the name.
Tool width
Enter the required width. The section profiles (i.e. the wood size and the split lines) will be offset by this amount so that the dimensions are correct after the dieboard has been manufactured.
