Format of Cutting Optimization pro files

Parts, stock, settings and results can be saved/loaded in/from .xml files which is the default format of the Cutting Optimization pro.

The xml file has a tree structure. The root node is named data.

Inside data one can have other nodes like parts, stock, technical_parameters, results etc, depending on what information is contained there.

Note that some files contain only partial information from this structure. For instance when working with parts only the contents of the part tag is saved in xml.

Main structure of the .xml files is the following:

  <?xml version="1.0"?>
  <data>
  	<parts>
  		<row>
  		...
  		</row>
  		...
  	</parts>
  	<stock>
  		<row>
  		...
  		</row>
  		...
  	</stock>
  	<technical_parameters>
  		<rectagular>
  		...
  		</rectangular>
  		<linear>
  		...
  		</linear>
  	</technical_parameters>
  	<results>
  		<rectangular>
  			<sheet>
  			...
  			</sheet>
  			...
  		</rectangular>
  		<linear>
  			<bar>
  			...
  			</bar>
  			...
  		</linear>
  	</results>
  </data>
