Nesting and Cutting Optimization Software

Width column is not visible in Statistics for 1D Results since the width of 1D pieces is always 0 (otherwise is considered as being a rectangular piece).

Adding a product to Parts is done directly from the Products window by pressing the OK & Add to Parts button. The old submenu from Products menu has been removed.

The added product can be previewed in the Product – add to Parts window which shows the list of sizes and the new names for materials and edge bands.

Fixed crash when all 1D parts length are longer than the 1D stock lengths.

Many internal updates of code to allow easier development in the future.

We have limited the quantity of Stock pieces to 1 million per row. We did this because it is enough for the 99.99% of cases that the program is intended to handle. Also, larger quantities can lead to the crash of the application which is a 32 bit application and cannot access more than 2GB of RAM.

Complex products (available in Cutting Optimization pro v4) will be introduced again in v5, but will be named Generic Products or Parameterized Products.

Note that existing Simple Products are already partially generic because the materials and edge-bands names can be redefined when adding the product to Parts. But Length and Width cannot be parameterized within Simple Products.

More about this soon …

Introduces the possibility to attach an image to each product. The image is displayed as a 32×32 icon in the corresponding column.

Note: if you assign a picture to a product, and then press Cancel to the Products window, you will still see the image of the product when you show that window again. You must delete the image with the Delete (Image) button if you want to forever delete an image attached to a product.

The adhesive labels windows (for Parts, Stock and Results) have been reorganized. The existing panels have been moved to a Page Control component. Preview panel is at the bottom of the Page Control.

When the user appends new rows to Parts or Stock tables, the cursor is moved to the first column.

This functionality was present in older versions of the program, but it was removed, and now is back.
