Gaskets
Flat gaskets cut from sheet: flange gaskets to the standards, rings, and gaskets for covers and hatches, cut by knife, die or waterjet. A drawing whose industry is Gaskets offers these tools in the toolbar and in Edit › Tool.
Tools
| Tool | Does | |
|---|---|---|
| Gasket Ring | A flat gasket: typed sizes, or an EN 1092-1 PN16 or ASME B16.5 Class 150 flange size | |
| Hole Pattern | Holes on a bolt circle (PCD), in a row or in a grid, measured from an edge | |
| Slot | A slotted hole: between two points, or round a centre at a length and angle | |
| Tab | Tabs (micro-joints) left uncut in a cut, to hold a part in the sheet | |
| Lead | A lead-in and lead-out in the waste, where a closed cut starts and ends | |
| Bridge | Bridges (nicks) in a cut | |
| Edge Notch | A V or U notch cut into an edge |
The production tools (Registration Mark, Drill Hole) are offered for every industry.
The Gasket Ring tool knows the EN 1092-1 PN16 (DN15 to DN200) and ASME B16.5 Class 150 (NPS ½ to 12) flange sizes: a ring inside the bolts, or full face with its bolt holes.

Material quote
File › Reports… › Foam and gasket material quote prices a job at each quantity: the sheets (or block) the pieces take, from their nests or each piece's rectangle on a sheet size, the waste, the material per sheet, per m² or per m³, the cutting time (the cut length at a speed and a pause at each pierce) at the machine's rate, and a set-up cost; the price each and for the run. See Reports.
Machine profiles
Make It (File › Export › Make It, Ctrl+Shift+M, or the Make It button at the top of the window) writes the waterjet's DXF (Waterjet (DXF, cut and etch)) in one click, beside the drawing, after checking the design: see Make It.
File › Export › Export… lists this trade's formats first. File › Send Using Machine Profile sends the drawing to a machine in one click, with the format, options, layer names and pens it needs; those that come with the app for this trade: Laser CAM by colour (DXF), Waterjet (DXF, cut and etch), Sample table (HP-GL, a pen a tool), Rule bender (CF2), Rule bender (DDES3). See Export by Industry and Machine Profiles.
