Narrow strips in the middle  

 

Saw parameter to set how narrow strips are sorted in patterns

 

Strips in patterns are sorted by width so that the widest strips are either at the rear (top) or front (bottom). However, it is sometimes preferable to sort narrow strips to the middle of the board and these parameters allow users to configure this.

 

When the parameter Narrow strips in the middle is checked, all strips with a width less than or equal to the Narrow width parameter are sorted to the middle of the board.

 

e.g. Narrow strip width = 150mm

- This parameter only takes effect when optimising - to change an existing run change the parameter and optimise again

 

- Can also be set as a Material parameter at material level.
