The Make Ready Board attributes are used by the Make Ready and the Automatic Make Ready tools. These settings are normally dependent upon the crease channel widths or the material thickness.
The Make Ready Board attributes form box can be opened from Master Tool Settings, Make Ready or Automatic Make Ready tools.

End Parameters
AX, AY, BX and BY are variables that define the first entities from the crease entity for the normal chamfer profile. These values will apply to the start and end points of the profile.
C determines the point where the extended chamfer profile intersects with the normal chamfer profile.
When you are in one of the make ready tools you can set the visibility option to show sausage lines; this will use the following variables to calculate the widths:
Board Caliper
This value is used to calculate the width of the crease entities.
Material thickness
Enter the material thickness.
Channel depth
Enter the channel depth.
Channel widths
Normal chamfer channel width
Enter the width for the normal chamfer palettes displayed in the make ready tools by the sausage visibility.
Extended chamfer channel width
Enter the width for the extended chamfer palettes displayed in the make ready tools by the sausage visibility.
Crease channel width adjustment
The width for the crease entities is calculated by (1.5 x Board Caliper) + (Crease width in the current layer) - (This value).
