This chapter describes the procedures for the tracing of all types of frames, patterns, demo lenses and recut
lenses:
•Description of the tracing environment (F p.18)
•Shape management and storage (F p.23)
•Tracing a rimmed frame (F p.28) (including high-base frame)

◦Rimmed frame (including high-base frame)
◦High-base frame
◦Optical tracing (patterns, demo lenses or recut lenses)
◦Mechanical tracing (patterns, demo lenses or recut lenses)
This mode cannot be selected. It is activated automatically upon detection of the pattern holder in
the tracing table.
4. Type of tracing
◦Symmetric binocular tracing&
◦Asymmetric binocular tracing&
◦Right-eye monocular tracing
◦Left-eye monocular tracing
5. Frame materials or type of optical tracing
For mechanical tracing of a frame:
◦Metal frame: high-precision tracing, with feeling of the groove cross-section
◦Plastic frame
◦Optyl frame, for particularly flexible frames
For optical tracing:
◦Demo lens//Recut lens for frame typeNylor ©
◦Demo lens / Recut lens
◦Pattern
◦Half jacket
For mechanical tracing of demo lenses, recut lenses or patterns, the tracer automatically detects the
pattern holder inserted in the tracing table.
6. Groove etection
◦: insertion in the middle of the frame (default value),
◦: high insertion (up to 75% the height frame),
◦: low insertion (up to 25% of frame height),
