13. Select the 2D Path function.
Figure 89: Teach 2D Line
14. Select the Run Tool. Select (double click) the necessary tool from the Tool Selection
window. Refer to
Figure 68.
15. Select the Teach Tool if necessary. Select (double click) the necessary tool from the

PolyLine (DMC 4000)
A Polyline is a path made of lines and arcs. Polylines are used when it is necessary to
change direction quickly, at high speeds, during a dispense. Polyline, in Pathmaster® 4.3,
uses surface height readings (taught before a polyline is used). Surface Height readings
and the Calibrated Z Height of a tool (Section
Error! Reference source not found.), account
for differences in individual part height and paths are adjusted to dispense correctly.
New Polyline
1. Click on the Polyline or select Teach > Polyline > Create New from the Main Menu to
open the Polyline Teach Interface.
Figure 92:PolyLine Teach Window
2. The Bomb button ‘explodes the polyline’. All the taught segments and arcs move
into the main path program as separate segments. When a line is exploded, the
height profiling feature cannot be used.
3. When 2D Polyline is enabled, a single Z height is taught for all the polyline segments.
Select the “
2D Polyline” checkbox to use this option.
4. Select either a Polyline or Arc from the top of the Polyline teach window. Follow the
prompts to teach the points.
