intelliDivide Cutting

![In den Export-Einstellungen im HOMAG-Menü kann die Ausgabe des PTX-Formats aktiviert werden.](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/2024-06-10-PTX-01-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d1mTQjnG7a3F2F8srJHXOTIDH0LmrwqYBSeis2t4jlw%3D)

In the export settings in the HOMAG menu, the output of the PTX format can be activated.

![Sobald das PTX-Format aktiviert ist, steht die entsprechende Datei im Erweiterungsmenü zum Herunterladen zur Verfügung.](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/2024-06-10-PTX-02-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d1mTQjnG7a3F2F8srJHXOTIDH0LmrwqYBSeis2t4jlw%3D)

Once the PTX format is activated, the corresponding file will be available for download in the extension menu.

![In den Exporteinstellungen im HOMAG-Menü kann zu den Detail-Einstellungen des SAW-Formats navigiert werden.](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/2024-06-10-PTX-03-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d1mTQjnG7a3F2F8srJHXOTIDH0LmrwqYBSeis2t4jlw%3D)

In the export settings in the HOMAG menu, you can navigate to the detailed settings of the SAW format.

![In den Detail-Einstellungen können die Zeichencodierung der Ausgabedatei angepasst und die maximale Länge des Dateinamens begrenzt werden.](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/2024-06-10-PTX-04-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d1mTQjnG7a3F2F8srJHXOTIDH0LmrwqYBSeis2t4jlw%3D)

In the detail settings, the character encoding of the output file can be adjusted and the maximum length of the file name can be limited.

![Die SAW-Datei steht im Erweiterungsmenü zum Download im entsprechenden Format zur Verfügung.](https://cdn.document360.io/43eaea7e-f51c-41df-9b73-bf55e0b1d20d/Images/Documentation/2024-06-10-PTX-05-de.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-09T23%3A47%3A15Z&se=2026-11-10T00%3A47%3A15Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=d1mTQjnG7a3F2F8srJHXOTIDH0LmrwqYBSeis2t4jlw%3D)

The SAW file is available for download in the appropriate format in the extension menu.

From now on, the export formats can be individually adjusted in the settings in the HOMAG menu.

- Deploy PTX Format

This widely used format allows the creation of cutting plans for a wide range of machines from different manufacturers. Once the format is activated, the corresponding file will be available for download in the extension menu.
- CADmatic 3.0 support

To support CADmatic 3.0, the character encoding must be set to "ANSI (Windows 1252)" in the settings and the maximum name length of the output file must be limited to 8 characters. This also allows cutting plans to be created for older machines for which an update to [CADmatic 5](https://www.homag.com/cadmatic) is not possible.

These adjustments expand the flexibility and application possibilities of [intelliDivide](/v1/docs/en/intellidivide-tutorial-erste-schritte) Cutting.
