Saving Your Plan

You can save your plan at any time by clicking the save icon in the top left corner of the screen. The last save time is displayed in the top right corner.

We recommend saving frequently to avoid losing any progress as you work!

Before you can proceed with dispensing your Plan, you must address any warnings displayed. Click on the warning icon to view the list of issues that need to be resolved before printing. You can click on the link next to any warning to jump directly to its location in the plan.

Warning icons will also appear in the Properties Panel to highlight any missing properties.

If you haven't already, be sure to name your plan by clicking on the title at the top center of the screen.

The checkmark beside the name of your Plan indicates that you can exit plan and proceed to the dispense workflow.

Dispensing

To begin dispensing your Plan, you can quickly navigate to the dispense workflow by clicking the 'Save & Go to Dispenser' option in Plan:

This will directly navigate over to the dispense workflow and automatically load in the first Artwork layer to print. You can also print your Plan without navigating from the Plan workflow anytime by opening a dispense workflow. In the Load Pattern step, open the Load Job menu, select the Job that was just saved, and choose the appropriate Artwork for the first print layer.

It’s important to print your artwork layers in the order they were designed in the plan. The probe points are pre-saved based on the expected print order of the previous layers and will not update dynamically if the print order changes.

Once the artwork layer has been loaded, you can proceed through the dispense workflow as usual. At the end of the dispensing workflow there is an option to proceed to the next artwork layer. This avoids the need to start a new dispense workflow for each layer. Simply cure your material and repeat the steps for any additional print layers.
