Nesting and Cutting Optimization Software

Fill the waste between pieces.

Show a popup menu when right-clicking on a cell containing graphical result.

Fixed a bug where the angle if different from 90 degrees was not displayed correctly.

Waste length is shown at the right side of the bar.

Fixed a bug where the position of the last piece in a bar was incorrectly calculated in some particular cases.

Fixed a bug related to the number of columns in Statistics|Waste tables.

Existing (saved) projects must be run again (from the Start button) because some information is saved differently in the new project format!

Fixed a bug which shows an message error when the Length column is not set when importing from Excel/CSV. In such case no data are imported to Parts or Stock from now on.

Add the Price column for Disposed and Reused waste tables.

Introduced the function to export the entire solution (all bars) as CSV with one info (bar, piece, waste) per row. This is available from the Save button (which has a table on it) of the Results main toolbar.

Fixed a bug affecting fractional numbers validation.

Shows angles on graphical solution. No angles are shown is all are 90 degrees!

Shows the project file name in the Project | About window.

Shows the list of pieces for the currently selected bar in tabular format (1 piece per row). Available from the Tabular button on the main Results toolbar.

Shows the top and bottom position of each piece in the Tabular window. This is important when you have angles. If all angles are 90 degrees, you may hide the Top position columns.

Fixed a crash which appears in rare cases after using the import from Excel window.

Do not enable all Parts or Stock after a paste operation. The state (Enabled or Disabled) of a row is preserved after paste.

[work in progress]

We started working on a function that will allow user to enter angles for the Stock pieces too. Also, the computed waste will have angles (currently the waste has 90 degrees at both ends).

More details soon …

Fixed a bug which allowed previous optimizations to be re-run (from the Latest solutions menu) after the current solution is accepted. Now, the Latest solutions menu is disabled after Accept and is re-enabled after Undo.

Fixed a bug in Find optimal stock length procedure where the length of parts were not extracted before the search starts, thus no results were generated.

Show utilization percentage in the Find optimal stock length table because not all pieces are utilized if the minimal searched length is smaller than minimum piece length.

Fixed a bug which colored with gray the background of pieces cells when the bar height was small.

Fixed the position of waste text inside cell.

Add new options (in the Interface window) to set the number of digits after decimal separator for prices, wastes and percents.

Changed the window used to assign pictures to materials. From the new window the user can delete the picture assigned to a material. The old button for deleting picture (from the Materials window toolbar) has been removed.

Fixed a problem where some special characters (\ / : * ? ” < > |) in the material name prevented the image from being saved to disk. These special characters are now replaced by _ in the filename of the image assigned to a material. This solution is not perfect (since the same character replaces multiple invalid characters), but it is better than before … and will be improved in the near future.

Pieces are draw with real height when the angles are different from 90.

If the angles are 90, and heights are greater than 0, the user can force the drawing with fixed height from Results | Additional | Draw the pieces with a fixed height menu.

Fixed a bug where values for angles were not validated while manually entered in the Parts table. Valid values for angles are between 0 and 180 degrees.

Fixed a bug where UI settings were loaded from a project file when the project was imported. This behavior was not intended.
