Regshape attributes panel

Shopfloor Assistant supports regshape logic for a wide range of structured machining features such as holes, slots, rectangles, hexagons, and keyholes.

The Regshape Attributes Panel is located on the bottom-right side of the NC Editor and becomes active whenever a regshape block is selected.

This panel allows you to edit geometric parameters in a controlled and intuitive way, with every change instantly synchronized across the NC Editor and the 3D Viewer.

Key Features

  • Bi-directional updates: Any modification is instantly reflected in both the NC Editor and the 3D Viewer.
  • Context-sensitive parameters: Parameters adapt dynamically based on the selected regshape type.

📘 How to Use the Regshape Attributes Panel

  • Step 1: Select a regshape block - select a regshape line in the NC Editor or click any point belonging to the regshape in the 3D Viewer.

This activates the Regshape Attributes Panel and highlights the entire regshape structure.

  • Step 2: Review the attribute fields - the panel automatically displays only the parameters relevant to the selected regshape type (hole, slot, rectangle, keyhole, hexagon). This ensures you see only meaningful controls for the feature you’re editing.

  • Step 3: Modify the desired attributes - enter new values for the geometric parameters (e.g., Radius, Length, Width, Corner Radius, Smoothness).

Values can be typed directly into the fields or adjusted incrementally.

  • Step 4: Press “Accept” to apply changes - your modifications are instantly updated:

  • The NC Editor reflects the updated regshape block.

  • The 3D Viewer updates the geometry visually.

  • The machine and manipulator move to the regshape center for spatial context.

  • Step 5: Inspect the updated shape - rotate, zoom, or pan in the 3D Viewer to verify that:

  • Geometry matches your intended dimensions.

  • Structured paths are consistent.

  • Transitions (approach/retract) remain correct.

Regshape**-**Specific Attributes

For hole:

  • Radius – defines the circle’s radius
  • Smoothness – controls the overlap of the laser cutting trajectory

For slot:

  • Length – total length of the slot
  • Radius – radius of the slot’s circular ends

For rectangle:

  • Length – horizontal dimension

  • Width – vertical dimension

  • Corner Radius – radius of rounded corners

For hexagon:

  • Width – distance between two opposite faces

  • Corner Radius – rounding of the corner vertices

🎯 Operator insights

  • Regshape editing applies to the entire feature (hole, slot, rectangle, hexagon), ensuring geometric consistency across all points.
  • Only relevant parameters are shown — the panel adapts automatically to the regshape type, reducing confusion and preventing invalid edits.
  • All updates are bi**-**directional — changes appear instantly in both the NC Editor and the 3D Viewer, making it easy to verify adjustments visually.
  • Use regshape editing for structured features — it’s faster and more accurate than editing individual points, especially for shapes with symmetry or repeating geometry.
  • Press “Accept” after each change — this ensures values are committed and accurately reflected in the NC code and 3D Viewer.
