Use Analyzer Manufacturing to create your manufacturing data including cutting lists. Analyzer Manufacturing bridges the gap between your CAD and CAM software and applies all manufacturing data. 

All three of our programs work independently or together.

Launch PYTHA

Go to Parts List Menu

Select Layout

Select External data and programs

You need to click the command line, see image below

Then select Edit

Path the executable command line to the v4 exe which is C:\Program Files (x86)\Analyzer 3D Software\Analyzer\Analyzer.exe – Again see below

Then Select Save as default

Close All then close PYTHA to ensure it is written to registry as standard settings. If there is a second PYTHA open and it is closed after this step, then it will overwrite everything you have done so ensure only the one PYTHA is open before you close the one you have worked in.

On a standard installation all of Analyzer’s reports are in the Crystal Folder, they are selected by Analyzer using the report name.

To get your company reports, go to a computer that has company Analyzer reports working and navigate to:

Program Files (x86) / Analyzer 3D Software / Analyzer

Copy the Crystal folder – see image above

Go to your new computer and navigate to:

Program Files (x86) / Analyzer 3D Software / Analyzer

Rename the Crystal folder to – Standard Install Crystal

Paste the report working Crystal folder in as per the image above.

Option 2:

Repathing to the Crystal Reports Folder

Go to Analyzer / User settings / Options / Directories

You can re-path to a new or different Crystal Folder, the standard path is - C:\Program Files (x86)\Analyzer 3D Software\Analyzer\Crystal\ - see image below

To select a new path go to the Reports Folder listing, press the three dots at the end of the selection box and navigate to the destination folder.

To select the different reports in Analyzer, go to Print and select the report you want to print.

My Analyzer is outputting certain parts on a secondary face. Is there a simple way to force all machining to a Primary face? 

How Analyzer Works

Here we introduce Primary Face, Secondary Face, FootPrints, Touch Types and the importance of Part Names. 

Face Types

When a part is created there is a point in the part called the centroid. The centroid is the centre of mass of the part, if we were to suspend this part from a string attached to the centroid it would remain perfectly in balance.Creating an assembly of these parts to make a cabinet also creates an assembly of centroids. The amalgamation of these centroids then creates a common point known as the centroid of the cabinet, and generally lies inside the cabinet.

Analyzer uses the location of the Cabinet Centroid to determine the primary or secondary face of the parts. A face of a part that looks towards the Cabinet Centroid is the Primary Face, and a face of a part that looks away from the Cabinet Centroid is the Secondary Face. Any part such as a Division which may lie on the centroid has the face to the left as the Primary Face.

To Change the machining fro the Secondary Face to the Primary FaceIf you right click on the part – go to Machining

This method changes all machining from un-specified face to the specified face, about aspecified axis. The equivalent to this method can be found in the graphics interface, by“Part right click -> Machining -> Force All To … about …” as below:

Each of the ‘Force All Machining…’ options has the ‘Layer Check’ option
