Common Errors

1. Essential processing types to avoid errors

Layer	Gia công
ABF_SHEET_BORDER	Board border
ABF_CUTTING_LINES	Detail cutting
ABF_MARK_SQUARE	Edge cutting

To avoid conversion errors, there must always be 3 types of processing:

• Board border

• Detail cutting

• Edge cutting

---

2. Do not allow inside cutting paths to extend beyond the detail boundaries.

The inner cutting path (red line) is extending beyond the part boundary (yellow line).

⇒ The software will interpret the red path as a single part and therefore will apply the cutting tool on the outside of it.

To fix this, drag the inner cut path (red line) so that it stays entirely within the part boundary (yellow line).

3. When machining both sides

When performing double-sided machining, you must assign a layer with the machining type “Back Side Outline” ⇒ This allows the software to recognize it and generate a two-sided file.

---

4. Configure groove routing for curved groove cuts.

For layers that contain a single line, assign the machining type as "Profile-on groove." That line represents the center path of the groove-cutting tool.

For curved groove routing with a layer protecting the bending groove, we assign the machining type as "profile-on" (run first). This groove path will be processed first.

5. Notes when setting up the drilling process

* The drilling process setup includes 3 types:

- Drilling holes: using a tool that pushes down then lifts up

• Drilling multiple circles: using a router that spins to cover the hole diameter

• Drilling multiple circles with a hole in the middle: used for hinge holes, the tool spins but leaves a small nub to avoid edge breakage when attaching edge banding

When setting up hinge drilling, for example ABF_D35, pay attention to assigning the drilling type as multiple circles with a hole in the middle, and select the appropriate tool and drilling depth.

• Do not assign the drilling hole layer to the “cut inside” processing type.
