With it you can create two-dimensional 2D and three dimensional 3D designs and then create all of the toolpaths necessary to produce the parts using your CNC machine. EnRoute includes many productivity-enhancing features that simplify the design process. Templates can be saved at many points in the process so that your decisions regarding specific design features, material types, tool choices, toolpath strategies, and output ordering may be saved for future use. The goal of your design process is to produce finished parts efficiently and economically.

This manual is intended to serve as a starting point for learning EnRoute. In this chapter, you will learn about:. Keyless Security — EnRoute no longer requires a dongle! Now use InstallManagerCloud. Improved redrawing of contours and toolpaths- This speeds up the drawing and redrawing of contours, toolpaths, and meshes.

Every time you zoom, pan, switch views, or redraw the drawing, it will be faster. For people who create lots of toolpaths 3D it would probably be worth the price of admission all by itself.

Simulation improvements — The new simulation engine gives the ability to use wood textures and. Rendering enhancements - Relief rendering in EnRoute has been improved also. The perspective view of reliefs does a better job of showing the relief from all angles so that users can visualize their design as they are working on it.

Dynamic Language Switching — Access to languages other than English in EnRoute used to require the user to change the locale on her computer. Now you simply select the language from a menu item and the language of choice is activated. On-demand movies - When you are getting started with EnRoute, you need to be able to get your questions about a specific tool answered right now. EnRoute 6 puts the answers at your fingertips. Right click on a button and a short movie explaining that tool will play.

These days, watching a movie to learn about software functionality is the choice of most users and we make it as easy as pointing and clicking. Support for the Lathe in the interface — The plate setup dialog now includes easy support for defining the plate to accommodate a rotary axis design of a specific diameter. Model Stacker — This new tool gives you the ability to slice a mesh in any direction and then automatically create 2D slices that can quickly be nested and cut out.

The cut slices can be stacked to create a unique version of your model. EnRoute takes care of numbering the slices so you can keep them in order, and it is also easy to create holes in each slice to fit one or more alignment rods for assembling your masterpiece. New Tangential Snap — Allow you to create tangent lines between two circles.

New Intersection Snap - New snap to help identify overlapping line segments. To aid with cleanup of imported contours with extra lines.

Improved Support for Single-Stroke Fonts — In addition to our built-in fonts, we have added support for a more industry standard technique that allows users to utilize single-stroke fonts from other sources such as One Line Fonts. These fonts are handy for marking applications and are efficient to cut.

Zoom to Selection now works for all active views at once. A simple change but surprisingly handy. Point Edit for Arcs Stays Arcs — If point editing changes are made to objects made of lines and arcs, the line segments remain line and arc after editing. Helps with editing shapes for letter bending and reducing arcs in output files. New Concentric or Eccentric Cone Wizard tool — Allows for cones to be created that have the same center point or offset center points.

Text Tool Improvements — We went through our text tool and made several improvements that make it much easier to work with larger text blocks. When typing and editing text, we got rid of extra text redraws. In addition, it is now easy to copy and paste text strings from other sources using the Windows clipboard.

Again, a simple improvement that makes all the difference. Support for paneling with output for large jobs — This new tool makes it simple to accommodate designs that are too big for your table, or too big for the material you want to use. Just define your panel sizes and EnRoute takes care of breaking up the output.

Contour Editing — when a user deletes a point to simplify a contour, if the point is between two arcs, the remaining segments will include just one arc in place of the two arcs. Component Creator Wizard — This is a tool that allow you to create interlocking components that can be used to create shelves and other objects. Can show as Long X on screen but output as Long Y.

Relief Slicing — The Relief Slicing tool has been completely reworked to make it easier to use, and more reliable to create slices. Whether you are creating one slice or a hundred, this tool makes it simple. Relief Slice Masking — One of the best features of the new slicing tool is the ability to automatically create masking contours for each slice that can be used to apply toolpaths only where they are necessary for milling the 3D surface of the relief. Creating these masks used to be a pretty laborious manual task to be done after the slices were created.

Vertical Slicing of Reliefs — The Component Maker also now makes it easy to slice up a relief vertically as well as horizontally. This can be used as a way to build large models more quickly, or as a way to get a new effect from your design. Unwrap a 3D Model for Rotary Cutting - Adds the ability to unwrap a 3D model onto a relief so that it can be wrapped back to a lathe for output.

This allows 3D models to be cut out on a rotary axis tool without distortion. If you have a rotary axis machine, you can now mill out full models without the need to split them into a top half and a bottom half. Symmetric parametric textures — A new set of parametric textures is available that are automatically symmetric for any size.

You can create amazing surface textures and then be able to either make several identical panels or reproduce the panels some other way — and they always match up seamlessly right to left and top to bottom.

Simplified Rapid Texture - Improvements that make it easier to get good results without having to totally understand what you are doing. No Seed Contour Required. Symmetric Rapid Texture- It is now easier to create Symmetric Rapid Texture Features that works with any panel size and is easy to use and hard to screw up.

Rapid Texture Templates- Templates have been updated to include 19 starting textures. New Parametric Texture Templates — We have added many new parametric textures that work in both inches and MM to help get you started. A new Bamboo Parametric Texture has been added. Before you begin installing the software, read the hardware requirements below. For optimal performance we suggest that your system meet the recommended requirements. As with all computer software, systems with faster processors, more RAM, and greater amounts of storage space allow you to work with larger files and keep your processing time to a minimum.

We also recommend a dedicated video card with on-board RAM. Previous versions of EnRoute required the use of a hardware key for licensing purposes. EnRoute 6 utilizes a licensing system that is tied to your computer, and so it does not require the use of a hardware key. For the great majority of our users, this is a very welcome change and removes the added complication of having to keep track of their key.

The one drawback of not using a hardware key is that it reduces the portability of an EnRoute license. Since the license was tied to the key, it was easy for a user to move from computer to computer just by moving the key to a different computer.

With the keyless system it is still possible to move the license between computers, but it requires the user to log in to their account on the SAI licensing website to disable one computer and then enable a different computer. It is still possible to use a hardware key with your copy of EnRoute 6. In this case, the license will be tied to the key rather than any one computer.

This will require that the USB key be attached to the computer in order for EnRoute to be usable on that computer. You most likely downloaded the EnRoute installer as an executable file from the SAi website. To start the installation, simply double click on the installer. The EnRoute installer will lead you through several steps to install the software in the desired location on your computer.

It may seem simplistic, but it does have a valuable practical use. When you are working in EnRoute, you are at all times within one of these steps of the process, and it is important to always understand where you are in the process.

In the Design phase you are typically creating 2D contours for your design. You might also be creating a relief surface or a mesh object. Everything you do to define the geometry and surfaces of your design is part of the design process. After completing the design, you are ready to create the toolpaths for cutting out the design.

In this stage, it is important to understand such things as the material you plan to use, the tools you have available, and the quality of the finish required on the cut edges and surfaces of the parts.

Output to the machine requires you to select the correct output driver, and to make sure that the configuration in EnRoute matches your specific machine. The main display area shows a view of the workspace. It can display a Top, Right, Front or Perspective view of the workspace, or all four views at the same time. Although you will likely do the majority of your work in the top view, it is often very convenient to be able to view contours and toolpaths from other views in order to see how they relate to each other.

To maximize a view, double-click on the name of the view that appears in its upper left corner. Double- clicking on the name a second time returns you to the four-view layout. You can also toggle between the top view and the perspective view using the F12 key.

All tools and options are available by selecting them from the menus at the top of the screen. In addition to locating the tools through the menus you can also find the tools readily available on the toolbars. Some of the toolbars contain flyout Toolbars. A small yellow triangle in the lower right corner identifies the first tool in a fly-out toolbar.

The user has the option to turn off some or all of the toolbars associated with this program. Select Reset to Defaults if you would like to set the toolbars back to their original position. Many toolbar icons have a small yellow triangle in their lower right corner indicating that a flyout menu for the tool exists.

A quick click on the toolbar icons will activate that particular tool. Click and hold for a short time in order to access the flyout menu containing several more tools. This allows you to display the flyout function during that session, or until you close that toolbar. Rulers appear along the top and left side of a view to help you measure and align objects. Rulers can be activated for the top, right and front views from the View menu. The rulers can be very helpful in keeping track of where you are in a design as you move around in the design during the design process.

The rulers are also a handy way to bring guidelines into the work area, by just clicking on a ruler and dragging the guideline into the design. To change the units used for all the drawing elements in your design, from the View menu, click on. Preferences and choose the Units Tab. Select the unit of measure desired. The status line along the bottom of the display provides a number of pieces of information. On the left side of the status bar the current coordinates of the cursor are constantly updated.

If objects are selected, their size is displayed to the right of the coordinates. During operations that require more than a moment or two of processing, a status bar is activated to provide feedback of the progress of the task.

Scroll bars are horizontal and vertical bars located on the bottom and left side of your design area. Use them to scroll the design area. To toggle scroll bars on and off, from the View Menu, select the View scroll bars option. It can be activated at any time by pressing F2 or clicking on the icon in the Settings toolbar. Activating the Precision Input Center by using F2 provides a simple method to move, scale or rotate selected objects. Other, more detailed, methods for moving, scaling, and rotating selected objects are also available, and are discussed in other sections of this manual.

For example, if you want to move the selection to a specific location, press F2 and select the Move tab. Then enter the coordinates for the new location of the selection. Snaps allow you to select specific points during geometry construction and editing activities.

Within most of the drawing commands, if you have snaps activated then as you move the cursor around on the screen the cursor will snap to drawing element points that meet the criteria of the snap. For example, if you have Snap to Endpoint on and then move the cursor close to a contour endpoint the cursor will snap to the point. Snapping makes it much simpler to precisely create and edit contours. Snap to grid Snaps to the nearest grid point.

The grid spacing is configured on the Grid page in Preferences. Snaps to a nearby guideline when the cursor gets close. Also when dragging a contour,. Snaps to the intersection of two line segments.

Snaps to the endpoints of arc, curve and sine segments. Snaps to the nearest point on a contour when the cursor gets close to it. Snaps to the center of an arc segment when the cursor is placed near the arc. Snaps to the midpoint of a segment when the cursor gets close to it.

When constructing line segments, after defining the first point in the segment, the second endpoint will snap to a point on a contour so that the line segment will be perpendicular to the contour.

When constructing line segments, the second endpoint will snap to a point on an arc so that the new line segment will be tangent to the arc. As you move the cursor while in a construction tool, this snap identifies the tangent point on an arc segment you are near, as well as the corresponding tangent point on an adjacent arc segment. This makes it easy to construct line segments that are tangent to two arcs.

By identifying intersecting or overlapping contour segments, you are able to edit the drawing to fix potential toolpath creation issues before they happen. The snap distance value, in screen pixels, is set on the General Tab of the Preferences Dialog. Guidelines are design aids that display as a dashed line in your design view. Guidelines provide a way to precisely locate points and contours in the drawing.

If Snap to Guideline is enabled, contours moved near a guideline will automatically be positioned along the guideline. When working in a drawing tool, points can be precisely located either along a guideline or at the intersection of two guidelines. The selected guideline will be highlighted in blue and any edits will be applied to that guideline. Place the guideline by left-clicking on the ruler and then dragging the guideline out into the design.

You can also create a new guideline using the Edit Guideline dialog: 1. Activate the view in which the guideline is to be placed by clicking in that view. Enter in the coordinates and angle of the new guideline. Click on the New button. Click on Done to exit the dialog. Activate the Guidelines dialog. Click on the Next button until the guideline is highlighted in blue. Click on the Delete button.

You cannot delete a guideline by dragging it out of a view. Enter the coordinates for the new location. Click on the Move button. If the lock guides option has been enabled, this interactive method is not available. Enter the angle in degrees you would like the guideline to be rotated to in the Angle field.

Click Rotate. Click Done. The Lock Guidelines feature prevents guidelines from being moved or edited by accident. Guidelines may be added while the guidelines are locked, but may not be deleted, moved or edited. Check the Lock Guides box. The Hide Guidelines feature allows you to hide the guidelines without actually deleting them. While this feature is enabled, no guidelines will be displayed, the Snap to Guidelines feature is disabled.

Check the Hide Guides box. The commands available in the View menu and the Zoom toolbar allow you to zoom in and out to get a closer look at part of your design or see the whole thing. The zoom commands do not change the size of any part of your design; they simply change your view of the information. To zoom in and out using the mouse, hold down the CTRL key and drag with the right mouse button.

Dragging the mouse up or left zooms out, down or right zooms in. Zooming with a mouse wheel is a particularly handy way to get around a drawing.

Move the cursor to where you want to work, and move the wheel backward to zoom out or forward to zoom in. Zooming is centered on the cursor location which makes it very easy to zoom in to a particular location. Zoom in on the currently selected objects. If all four views are active, all views will zoom to the extents of the selection. Zoom out to display all objects, including the plate if one is designed.
