Hi all,
I am trying to set up a cut with 2 tiles. Pretty straight forward cuts.
My understanding is the following:
Thanks,

Sounds about right, see:
Could not really tell from this video if he had 2 files.
he had 2 groups set up
Usually what folks do is create the initial design file:
Then enable and set up tiling:
and save out each tile as a separate file:
using appropriate filenames, e.g.,
CC_nomad_tiling_test_8x8_tile_n_of_y.nc
where n is replaced by the tile number and y by the total number of tiles.
Thanks will.
Like Kevin says, sometimes, you just need to try this out.
just one more…
the y0 for 2nd tile will be the top of tile 1 (or where the ile 1 cut ends in y direction), correct?
Adjusted by the overlap, yes.
The advance is the tile size.
I have only done tiling once but I wrote about what I did. I think the most important thing is making a side fence and then trim that perfectly square.

There’s additional guidance in this video:
@mtvannan I will also tell you that you need to come up with a way to assure that your zero has not moved between tiles. I have found (and I have a belt-driven s03, so that might be why) that my ‘x’ moves a couple of hundredths of an inch … enough to create an uneven transition on straight lines that cross the tiles…which drive me nuts. I have recommended a registration method using a hole in a dead-area of the design to allow you to make sure you’re lined up perfectly before cutting the rest of the tile - if you’re interested, I’ll find the link.
