Cutting Layouts

This is the area where the cutting layout is displayed as a result of the optimization process. To reach this section select "Cutting Layout" tab in the main window.


The "Cutting Layout" window is made up of 3 sections:
  • The Cutting Layout preview pane - is situated on the left and it displays  the cutting layouts one by one. You can navigate through the layouts using the navigation buttons.

  • The Panel Info Area - is situated on the right and it displays information about the panels, parts and offcuts contained in the current cutting layout.
    The description field of panels, parts and offcuts can be edited. The changes are visible on the printed cutting layout and on the labels (only when "Label View 1" and "Cutting layout order" is selected). The text entered on the cutting layout tab is reset when a new job is loaded or when the optimization is executed. To keep the changes, the cutting layout needs to be saved.
    This new feature facilitates the communication between the person who is generating the cutting layout and the workers who are cutting the pieces.

  • The Status Bar - displays information related to the current cutting layout like current page, offcut area, saw width and multiplication.
