| Feature |
| MTO |
| Description |
| This setting defines the calculation method for inlay tapes, which are standardly ordered in meter rolls. The circumferences of the inlay tapes are calculated, and if the total length exceeds the limit of 1M or 10M defined in the option, the quantity in the parts list is increased accordingly. The options are: 1 - 1M: The circumferences of the inlay tapes are calculated. If the total length exceeds 1 meter, the quantity in the parts list is adjusted accordingly. 10 - 10M: The circumferences of the inlay tapes are calculated. If the total length exceeds 10 meters, the quantity in the parts list is adjusted accordingly. X - XM: The length of the inlay tapes is set individually. If the defined limit is exceeded, the quantity is adjusted accordingly. This function allows precise control over the calculation and representation of inlay tapes based on their total length and the specified options. |
