Options
- Repeat layout when usage is at least XX % - when checked, the
optimization engine will try to repeat a cutting layout if the usage
on that layout is at least the value specified. Please note that checking
this box will not guarantee that the layout will be repeated. There
must be enough parts and panels left for at least another identical
layout. Values lower than 90% are not recommended.
- Give priority to offcuts when usage on offcuts is at least
XX % - when checked, the optimization engine will give
priority to offcuts when choosing the best coverage. For ex. if this
option is set to 50% and the usage is 50% on an offcut and 80% on a
new panel, the offcut will be selected for that layout even f the coverage
on it is smaller than on the new panel. This way you can force the program
to optimize offcuts before "touching" the new panels.
- Optimize only panels available in stock - when checked,
the optimization engine wil check the stock for the availability of
each panel. Panels not found in stock will be disabled and marked with
red color, while panels found in stock but with insufficient qty will
be marked with blue color and their qty will be reduced to the available
qty in stock. Use this option if you want to make sure you have in stock
all the needed materials before starting to cut something.
Saw width
- Unique / Global value - use this option to set the
same saw width for all material types.
- Per material value - use this option to set different
saw widths for each material type. This can be usefull if you would
like to generate cutting layouts for many different materials (.i.e.
wood and glass). To configure the saw width for each material click
the "Settings" button to open the Materials
window.
