Users have the ability to upgrade all storage areas at once, or one at a time.
To upgrade all your storage areas in one process, use the AccuMark Utilities select Storage Area, Check All SQL.
To upgrade one storage area at a time, use the AccuMark Utilities select Storage Area, Upgrade SQL.
A dialog box will be displayed showing the SQL/MSDE storage areas that need to be upgraded. Here it is possible to upgrade one at a time, thus allowing the user the flexibility to upgrade when it is convenient. If a pre-V8.2 SQL/MSDE storage area is not upgraded, it will not be possible to see the data items through any of the applications. WebPDM will not support sub-folders until the 5.1 release.

Explorer
Import plot and import digitize can now import multiple files at one time. Previously, only one plot file or digitize data item could be imported to AMExplorer each time. You can enter multiple names, use the Control + click, Shift + click, or draw a marquee around the files to be imported. Here is an example:

Each option dialog box can be set up with the following choices: File Naming 8.3 file names Long file names Append a count to the name (suffix). Extension Specified name Use a count (001, 002, 003...) Use Last Dash as Separator No File Extension More flexibility beyond the limits of the original eight character file names. Long file names can be created with or without extensions. Naming options apply ONLY to Cut and Plot files stored to a file location. Cut and Plot files sent to a queue or saved to Storage Areas use the input name (Marker Name, Piece Name, Cut Name, etc.) and have NO filename extension.
DXF Output
DXF files can now be generated directly from AccuMark data. This includes pieces, models and markers files. The dxf data is generated from the Piece Plot, Marker Plot and PDS Plot applications. Set up the Piece Plot or Marker Plot options with the file type DXF and set up a plot destination directory. Markers and pieces will be created in standard DXF format to the designated directory.
Page 17 of 57
1/29/2007
From PDS, set up Preferences to allow the arranged pieces in the work area to be generated as a dxf file. Be sure to set up the Piece Plot Preferences as well, so the files are generated to a designated directory as a DXF file type.

By default, this feature is turned on. When this option is turned off, the ability to move plot jobs from one queue to another queue, or to reorder jobs within a queue, would not be available. In order to disable the drag and drop feature, go to AccuMark Utilities - Plot Queue Configuration dialog and uncheck this option. Only a user with Administrator privileges is permitted to change this option. An Administrator should uncheck this option on each workstation where they wish to restrict this ability.

Infinity 45 and Infinity 85 Plotters These new plotter drivers accommodate the new Infinity 45 and Infinity 85 plotters which have sensors and a user interface to detect out of paper /end of roll and out of ink. The Infinity 45 plotter uses HP ink cartridges that are commercially available worldwide. The Infinity 85 uses a HP 350ml bulk ink system that saves you even more. HP print head technology can save you thousands of dollars yearly in print head maintenance costs, because every ink refill has a new print head. In addition, the Infinity allows users to modify ink usage based on their requirements for optimum efficiency and cost savings.

Pieces listed together on the same line separated by commas are cut at the same priority. In this example, cut all pockets and cuffs first and intermingled. Then, cut everything else except what is below this line. The front and backs would be cut last.
Pieces listed on separate lines are cut in the specified order. In this example, cut all pockets, then cut all cuffs, and then cut everything else.
System looks at all lines of categories and cuts according to the order of how they are typed in on the lines. An asterisk means "everything"
Page 27 of 57
1/29/2007
It is also possible to reverse the sequencing by listing an asterisk first. This will cut everything except pockets and cuffs. Then, cut pockets and cuffs last. Example of cut sequence with asterisk listed first: * POCKET, CUFF Cut everything except pockets and cuffs, then cut pockets and cuffs.
The Pattern Conversion Wizard will now display the Log file when an error occurs in a conversion. Added the support of additional characters when importing data. It is now possible to annotate pieces with ~, *, {, }, |, [, ] and \ in PDS. Previously, if these characters were added in PDS, exported to DXF, and then imported back to the AccuMark using PCW, these characters were lost.

Keep Position
A new function option has been added in the Reference Notch and Tangent Notch functions called "Keep Position. This option controls the distance between the notch and reference point when shrinkage is applied. This option will flag the reference notch and maintain the reference notch distance in the Scale and Shrink/Stretch functions.

Whats New
Pattern Wizard
The Pattern Wizard provides the ability to create and run scripts for pattern creation and modification. Over forty PDS functions are enabled to work with scripts. The scripts can be used for a variety of purposes: Graded patterns may be created from measurements. Scripts for general garment types can be created and used for costing by varying the measurement specifications for the patterns created. Basic patterns can be created in the system by the scripts and then further modified in PDS. Repetitive or standardized procedures may be automated for existing patterns. An additional drop-down menu called Wizard is displayed to the right of Draft. The functions include Record, Play, Edit, Delete and Edit Measure Chart. Toolbar tools are also available for these functions.
Page 33 of 57
1/29/2007
Measurement Charts
The measurement charts can be created in Excel, PDS or in another application. The file formats for the charts need to be Excel files (.xls) or .CSV files. If working with Microsoft Excel, a new PDS preference can be used to specify opening Excel rather than the PDS Measurement Chart editor.
The Measure Charts can be edited and displayed in PDS using the Edit Measure Chart function. The illustration can also be associated with each Point of Measurement. The corresponding image will then display for the row of the cursor location. The image can be added by right clicking on a checkbox to display the selection dialog box.
Page 34 of 57
1/29/2007
Note for Regional Settings: If editing a chart that was originally created with a period as the decimal place, a period should be used rather than a comma, or the changes will not be saved. Sizes and measurement locations can be added or removed. To delete a column, highlight the column first, and then click the toolbar button to delete. Multiple columns can also be deleted at once. To delete a row, highlight a row, press delete button on the keyboard. Add Measurement To add a new measurement item, select the Add Measurement menu option, tool or select F1. A new line is added below the last measurement in the chart. A drop down menu is available to select from the list of pre-defined items. Delete Measurement To delete a new measurement item, select the row above the row to be deleted, then select the Delete Measurement menu option, tool or select F2. The line is deleted. Pre-defined list of measurement points The pre-defined list of measurement locations can be created in a text file and saved in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Gerber Technology\Silhouette 2000\Scripts. Select the text file to use in Measure Chart/Edit/Preferences. Add Size To add a new size, select the Add Size menu option, tool or select F3. A new column is added to the right of the last size.
Delete Size Highlight the column of the size to be deleted. Select the Add Size menu option, tool or select F4. The highlighted column is removed. Change Base Size Select the Change Base Size menu option, tool or select F5. The Change Base Size dialog displays. Select the correct size and then select OK.

If created in Microsoft Excel, the files should follow the format below. In the top row, the first cell has a 1 or a 2. A 1 indicates that the POMs (point of measurement locations) are along the top row. A 2 indicates the POMs are down the first column. Cell 1B contains the base size and cell 1C contains the size step.

4. The system will prompt for a location in the work area to be selected. Click in the work area. The script executes. If an error is encountered, the Edit dialog displays in the work area.
Editing a Script
Steps can be inserted into, and deleted from and existing script. 1. Select Wizard/Edit. The File Open dialog displays in the work area. 2. Select the name of the script to edit.
Page 39 of 57
1/29/2007
3. Select Open. The steps of the script display in the Edit Script dialog. The steps are displayed in tree form and the steps can be expanded by selecting the + sign. 4. Select a specific step in the Script, the line with highlight. The first 8 options in the toolbar can be used for editing. The 8 options are Step, Back Step, Go to Step, Run, Record, Delete, Undo and Redo. The next 4 are used to format the display of the window; Show Information, Show Steps, and Expand Functions and Expand Multiple Selections. The last 2 are for adding and editing comments.
Step The Step function moves forward through the script, one step at a time. The steps that have been performed are displayed in BOLD type. Back Step The Back Step function moves backwards through the script, one step at a time. Go to Step The Go to Step function runs the script through until the function before the selected step.
Page 40 of 57
1/29/2007
Run The Run function performs the script to the end. Record can then be used to append additional steps at the end of the script. Record The Record function is used to insert steps at the location of the current step (represented by a horizontal line). Step or Go to Step can be used to get to the desired location in the script. Delete The Delete function is used to delete steps from a script. The function after the horizontal line is deleted. Undo and Redo The Undo and Redo functions within Edit Script are different from the standard PDS Undo and Redo functions. For example, using Undo after Go to Step will undo all of the functions applied in Go to Step. Show/Hide Information and Steps The Show/Hide Information and Steps buttons are used to make the window small while working in the work area, or display the details of the script. Expand Functions Expand Functions is used to show all of the information in each step. Expand Multiple Selections
Comment Comments can be added prior to each step in the script. The comment can be used to describe what is being created or modified by the step.
Print
The Print option in the File menu can be used to print the script.
Delete Script
A script can be deleted using the Delete Script function. The file selection dialog is displayed and the location and file name can be selected.

Use scripts between different styles. Although you can use scripts on nonidentical sets of data, there needs to be certain similarities in order for the script to be successfully applied. Lines & Points Only the line names and point numbers which are referenced in the script must be the same between the styles. For example, a simple script used to lengthen skirt hems by moving the hem lines, only the hem line needs a name. Style Details Style details of a pattern piece need to be similar if the change in the script affects that particular area of the pattern. For example, if you have a script which deepens the armhole of a suit jacket, that script could be applied to jackets with or without vents, with two or three buttons, or single/double-breasted. The script
Page 42 of 57
1/29/2007
would not apply between a two and three piece body or a one and a two piece sleeve. Line Lengths Line lengths do not have to be the same on different styles, but the measurement indicated in the script file must exist on the substitute piece. For example, if the script specifies that a notch be added 20 cm from the beginning of a line, and the substitute line is only 18 cm long, the script will fail.
Page 43 of 57

The different xml editors display the files in different formats. A file is displayed in Microsofts XML Notepad below.
Page 44 of 57

Scripts can be created for a base pattern that already exists Creating the reference lines around the existing perimeter can create a script for existing patterns. Save script after creating a group of steps To ensure that the script is being created correctly, it should be saved every 5-10 steps.
Create reference lines big enough to not cause an error If creating reference lines by specifying a number for the length, for example 10 cm, they need to be long enough to not cause an error when the script is run. For example, if a hip line is created and a point on the out seam line is positioned on the hip line, the hip line needs to be long enough to accommodate any possible hip measurement. In the piece below, if the hip line was 30 cm (1/4 of 120 cm) and a mark was being place by measuring along the hip line from the center front, any value greater than 30 cm for the Beg or End field would cause an error.
Use values in the Measurement Chart to create the most flexibility When reference lines are created, they should be created using a graded value in the chart, rather than giving a number for the length (as described in the previous paragraph). The length can be edited in the chart after the script is created. Sometimes the measurements provided are not enough to draft The customer may provide fewer measurements then are necessary to draft a piece. In this case, more measurements need to be added to the specifications to create a good script.
Page 46 of 57
1/29/2007
To keep a curve tangent to a line make 2 curves. When creating a curved line, if a reference line is used to position the middle of the curve, the line should be created in two segments. In the example below, a line is positioned at the chest width. The armhole curve should touch the chest width line on all sizes. If the entire armhole curve is created as one line, the curve will not be tangent to the chest width line on all sizes. If the curve is divided into 2 segments with one end of each segment on the chest width line, the curve will be tangent on all sizes.
All of the pieces in work area need unique names When recording a script, if more than one piece is in the work area or newly created, they need to have different piece names. If there is ore than one piece in the work area with the same name, the system will not know which piece to use when the script is run.
SQL Storage areas and scripts and measurement charts for Wizards
The scripts and measurement charts are not AccuMark data items, they are text and xml files. This means that cannot be stored to the AccuMark SQL storage areas. The drive listed for the storage area represents a database, not a network drive. Therefore, the xml and csv/xls files should be saved to a network drive that is mapped to a standard server, not a SQL server.

1. From the Files of Type field, select Assyst or AAMA/ASTM and then select the data from the directory where the data resides; locally or from a network location. For AAMA/ASTM, select the Options button to set up and control additional data import options.
2. In PDS View menu: Preferences/Options, select the Path Tab and set the default storage area where the pieces will reside once stored. 3. Once the pieces are retrieved into the menu, place all of them in the work area and select File/Save. Use Ctrl+A or marquis to select all the pieces at one time. Pieces will automatically be saved to the designated default storage area set in Preferences/Options. 4. Once saved, a model and corresponding pieces are created for AAMA/ASTM data. For Assyst data, pieces are stored to the storage area but models may need to be defined by the user depending on the format of the original data.
Page 48 of 57
1/29/2007
Assyst Data There are 2 types of Assyst data that can be opened in File/Open in PDS. Design files and Style files. The Design file has one or many piece designs stored. Rule tables in the Grade rules folder are referenced inside. The Style file is a collection of Pieces stored in design or pieces folder. All Assyst files should be contained in their corresponding folders.
To open the Assyst piece data from PDS File Open, locate the directory and data. Select from the Design or Style folder and retrieve into PDS. Pieces will automatically be saved to the designated default storage area set in Preferences/Options.
Assyst Data Utility There is no specific file name extension defined for the Assyst data types. A utility has been created to detect the file format and version of the Assyst data automatically. If a file is unknown, or it cannot be successfully opened, the utility can be used to determine the contents of the file. This utility can be found in the following location:
C:\Program Files\Gerber Technology\AccuMark V8\AccuMark\Assystdatadetector.exe

1/29/2007
Automatic Piece Numbering Use this options automatically assign a number to pieces without piece names, beginning with the number specified in the Piece Start Number field. The automatic numbering will use the number of digits specified in the Number Digits field. If the starting number is less than this value, the system will add leading Zeros to the starting number. (Example: Starting number = 100, number of digits = 5. the numbering will be 00100, 00101, etc.) Piece Start Number If Automatic Piece Numbering has been selected, enter the first number in this field that the system should use for any unnamed pieces. If Precede Piece Name with Style Name is also selected, the resulting name is the style name followed by the number from the number field. Number Digits Select the number of digits to be assigned to the Automatic Piece Number selected in Piece Start Number.
Page 50 of 57
1/29/2007
Precede Piece Name with Style Name Select this option to add the style name to the beginning of each piece name associated with the model. Piece names within the model editor that is created are updated as well. If this option is unchecked, no style name will be added to the piece name. Append Style Name to Piece Name Select this option to add the style name after each piece name associated with the model. Piece names within the model editor that is created are updated as well. If this option is unchecked, no style name will be added to the piece name. Note: Either Precede Piece Name with Style Name or Append Style Name to Piece Name should be selected, not both. Import Rule Table Select this option to import the Rule Table referenced in the DXF file. The rule file must be in the same directory as the dxf file. Note: If the dxf was created as a sample size then a rule table is referenced. Otherwise, the default PDS rule table will be used. Overwrite if Exists select this option to overwrite duplicate Model and Rule Table information in the AccuMark storage area. If Unchecked, the Model and Rule Table information will not be overwritten. Units Select the unit of measurement to use. Units available are: 1/100 Inches, 1/10 Inches, Inches, Feet, Yards, 1/10 Millimeters, Millimeters, Centimeters, and Meters. Use the radio button on the main options page to control the system of measurement, Metric or Imperial, and press the More button to control the increments. If a value other than Millimeters (metric) or Inches (Imperial) is chosen, the file will be converted during import.
Page 51 of 57
1/29/2007
DXF Layer Names DXF layers are numbered to identify each layer, and to indicate what information is found on that layer in the data being converted, as defined by the AAMA/ASTM standards. Numbers are used rather than text, since many programs that support DXF are unable to generate or accept non-numeric layer generation. The information displayed is the default values and may not be changed for importing. Import will always use the default values displayed in this section.
Errors A log window is opened for each import. The log contains a report of the imported item(s) and any parsing warnings or errors.
Page 52 of 57
1/29/2007
Restrictions/AccuMark Conditions Drill holes: Import can recognize a mirrored (gets label D) or nonmirrored (gets a label E). After Import of pieces with seam lines, they will be labeled an S in AccuMark but they will not have the special properties of seam lines in PDS. They will have to be deleted and recreated if you need the lines to be treated as seams in PDS. Limitation: During import some of the notches may be dropped at this time if the notch does not have a base point. Limitation: grain lines cannot be graded while going through the import process, so any grade rules on a grain line will be dropped. Any invalid characters for AccuMark will be renamed with a - during the Import process. If a warning is received about turn or curve points missing go ahead with the conversion and check the data afterwards. The turn and curve points in an ASTM conversion show up on several layers and the point is missing from one of the layers but the attribute for the point was present. The sending system is not sending the data correctly. U-notches will show as a Castle notch in the AccuMark system at this time.

Armhole/Sleeve Cap
The function Armhole/Sleeve Cap now allows a decimal value to be used in the "% of Distance" field. For example, if equal movement was desired across three pieces, 33.3% could be entered resulting in roughly 1/3 of the total movement entered being applied to each piece.
Page 55 of 57
1/29/2007
If the annotation is located outside of the piece, the annotation is assigned to the split piece that has the closest center.
Support for unclipped lines in Trace Piece, Swap and Replace Line
Additional support for unclipped lines has been added to the Create Piece/Trace, Swap Line and Replace Line functions.
Page 56 of 57

When using the Trace function, any internals selected to become perimeter lines on the new piece will be unclipped if there are any unclipped lines within the selection.
For Swap Line and Replace Line, the internal selected for swapping or replacing will be set to unclipped if an unclipped perimeter line is selected. Replace Line will also set the internal selected to unclipped if the internal line intersects an unclipped perimeter line.
