Cutting Optimization pro 5.18.5

Thursday, January 30th, 2025

Change of behavior when for the trim when the Trim all edges at beginning (from menu Settings|Technical|General) is not checked. Previously, the Left and Top trims were automatically performed and only the Right and Bottom trim were sent for optimization. Now, the original trims (for all edges) are sent to the optimizer for “trim-as-you-go“.

When a piece is manually removed from the graphic results, it will not be removed from the Parts table. Instead it will be marked as unused (the row is colored differently).

Shows an error message when trying to manually insert a piece in a trim or in another waste where it does not fit.

Draw trim rectangle with a different fill pattern than the regular waste.

Show trim of the waste in the Stock table when the solution is accepted.

Waste from trim is not added to Stock when the solution is accepted.

Solutions are not allowed to be manually modified after being accepted.

Can accept again a solution after being undone.

Shows an error message if a piece is moved to a another sheet of different material.

Pieces list window has been reorganized.

Advanced Export of Cuts is introduced for Alpha testing. It is available by pressing the Cuts button from the 2D Results toolbar. The same format is used in the Statistics | Cuts page. Currently the interface is in English language only.

With this feature you can customize the export of the list of cuts. For instance you can:

  • insert some text before/after the list of cuts.
  • insert some text before/after each cut.
  • split the start coordinate and end coordinate on 2 different rows.
  • insert some text before/after each coordinate of the cut.
  • specify the prefix for the X and Y coordinates.
  • specify the separator (default is ; ) between elements.
