Several planar and angular splitting modes are available for marking of objects which are larger than the working area. For all modes, fixed or adaptable split sizes can be used. Between two split parts, SAMLight manages the movement of the axes  automatically.

• 1D Planar Splitting
• 2D Planar Splitting
• Angular and Ring Splitting
• 1D MOTF Splitting

The Parameter Finder is a tool that helps to optimize pen and hatch parameters. It is structured as a wizard which guides the user through the different steps:

• For testing, define the grid, the entity and the pen to be optimized.
• Choose the "X Parameter" to be varied in horizontal direction.
• Choose the "Y Parameter" to be varied in vertical direction.
• Mark and select the best result or fine tune iteratively.
• Use an automated log file to find perfect parameters.
