Print and Display Settings


Under the "Print and Display" tab you can set the display preferences for both screen and printer.






  • Print panel details on each page - if this is checked, panel details will be printed on each layout. If unchecked, panel details will be centralised in a report and printed at the end of the cutting layout.

  • Print cutting lines on layouts - if checked, cutting lines will be printed on the layouts where the panel needs to be cut.

  • Print full border for tables - if checked, full table border is printed. If unchecked, tables are printed using a clear style, rows being separated by a horizontal line.

  • Display parts quantity status bar - show/hide the "Parts quantity status bar". This status bar is situated in the "Panels and parts" area, above the parts grid. It displays the total of parts entered so far. This can be useful for users of Smart2DCutting Free (30 parts), Smart2DCutting (100 parts), Smart2DCutting (1.000 parts) and Smart2DCutting (10.000 parts)

  • Priority on cutting layouts for this information - the selected information will get higher display priority on small parts on which the whole part information does not fit. The available options are: Length & Width, Description and Part code.
    The part number will be always displayed.

  • Currency - shows the currency format currently in use. To configure currency settings click the "Settings" button. The "Regional and Language Options" window will open. Next, you can simply select your country from the drop-down list or click the "Customize" button to manually adjust the settings. Make sure you click the "Apply" button to confirm the changes.
    Please note that changing the currency will NOT perform any currency conversion.

  • Columns Order - allows to change the order of columns in the grids. By default the columns order is: Description, Length, Width, Qty, Material etc. To change the order of a column select it and click the "Up" or "Down" buttons to move the column up or down in the list. Click the "Save" button to close the settings dialog window and to save the change.
    Certain columns can be disabled by unchecking their corresponding checkbox in the "Columns Order" grid. A disabled column will not appear in the program anymore until it is checked again. This can be helpful for users who do not need the extra fields like Rotate, Part code, Notes, Edge banding or Works.
    The main columns: Description, Length, Qty, Material are required by the program to work and can not be disabled.

  • Display Options - allows to configure the display preferences for panels, parts, offcuts and cutting lines.
    To change the cutting lines color, click on the cutting line or on the string "cutting lines". A color selection popup window will open, letting you choose the color of cutting lines.
    To change the font on screen click the button "Font on screen...". To change the font at printer click the button "Font at printer...".
    By clicking on any other item like "Parts", "Offcuts" or "Scrap" the "Display options" popup opens.
