LaserCut 5.3 - switching between files
Posted: Mon Nov 16, 2015 4:58 pm
Hi,
Apologies if this is a simple question ... but I think I am just missing a simple trick. When I engrave, and want to switch from one template of parts to another one, I am doing the following:
Open LaserCut, import template A (dxf file), do my engraving
Then I close the software
Then I open the software again, import template B (dxf file), do my engraving
Then I close the software
etc
Is there any way to switch from one template file to another without closing and reopening the software? Kind of like you can have multiple files open in Microsoft Word and switch between them without closing and opening the programme? Although the templates that I am using are standard (the jigs), the information that is engraved onto each piece is custom for every customer. That is why I have been importing a new template each time (instead of using templates that have been saved from within the programme). Any help would be much appreciated...
