Abstract
Disclosed is a method for generating settings for machining an optical lens, including: a) acquiring a file characterizing the shape to which the optical lens must be machined in order to allow it to be mounted in a spectacle frame; b) decomposing the shape into a plurality of distinct objects, including an exterior envelope inside of which all the other objects are located; c) determining a machining order of the other objects; and d) generating the machining settings depending on the machining order.

A method for generating settings for machining an optical lens, the method comprising steps of:
- a) acquiring a file characterizing the shape to which the optical lens is to be machined in order to allow the optical lens to be mounted in a spectacle frame;
- b) decomposing said shape into a plurality of distinct objects, including an exterior envelope inside of which all other objects other than the exterior envelope are located;
- c) determining a machining order of said other objects to determine in what order the other objects are to be machined, and
- d) generating the machining settings depending on said machining order.
