System tool DSTV files scribing lines optimization (ML176) can be used to optimize existing DSTV files containing scribing. Standard hollow section profiles include inner and outer contour scribed and other section profiles include the entire contour. This tool removes the inner lines and shortens or removes the contour so scribing is still the reference for welded parts, but the amount of time for scribing is less shorter because of less scribing line length.
