Dr.METAZA2 Guide
If you want to use a workpiece having a shape other than a circle (ellipse), quadrilateral, or diamond, you need to add the shape.
You can use either of two methods to register a shape with Dr.METAZA2.
Acquiring the shape of a workpiece with a scanner
Creating the shape using a commercial paint-type program
If you have a scanner, we recommend using the first method. The second method can be used if the shape of the workpiece cannot easily
be acquired with the scanner, or if you don't have a scanner.
Acquiring the Shape of a Workpiece with a Scanner
Use a TWAIN32-compliant scanner to scan the shape (outline) of the workpiece.
If you are using a flat-bed scanner, you can scan the workpiece as it is. If you are using another type of scanner, then copy the shape
of the workpiece to a piece of paper and scan the paper to acquire the shape.
1 Place the workpiece on the scanner. Alternatively, place
a sheet of paper onto which the workpiece has been cop-
ied on the scanner.
2 From the [File] menu, click [Add Material] - [Scan...].
The screen for the scanner driver appears.
3 Operate the scanner driver to scan the shape of the
workpiece.
For the number of colors, select "Black and White" (bi-
nary). For information about how to operate the scanner
driver, refer to the user's documentation for the scanner.
4 When scanning ends, the [Add Material] dialog box ap-
pears.
