Adding Marker Files

You can upload Marker files to the Optitex Shell, when you want to create marker orders, run nesting, plot and more.

Note: If you are using Marker files that were created prior to O/15, it is advised to open and then save them in O/15 to make sure all features work correctly.

To add Marker files:

1. Open the Optitex Shell application.

2. From the Main Menu, go to File > Add.

3. Make sure the Marker Files selection is selected (*.mrk).

4. Browse for the file you are opening. You can select multiple files using Shift or Ctrl.

Here is an example of multiple marker files.

Notice if you select a row, a preview of the file displays in the preview area.

The grid displays the following information:

Column	Description
File Name	Displays the name of the file as it was saved in the Marker.
Length	Displays the length of the Marker table in centimeters.
Width	Displays the width of the Marker table in centimeters.
Efficiency	Displays the efficiency (how much cloth is being used and how much space is being saved) of the Marker in a percentage.
Cut Length	Displays the area on the marker where you have to cut the fabric (the usage of the fabric after nesting).
Plies	Displays the number of plies that were defined for the Marker.
Date	Displays the date the Marker was created.
Materials	If materials were used, displays the types of materials.

Once you have added your Marker files you can now run Shell commands. For more information, see Using Shell Commands.
