Materials, board sizes, and board quantities in stock
The Board library stores information about boards in the following structured way
MATERIALS
BOARDS (Board sizes)
TRANSACTIONS (Stock movements - Stock control module only)
Each Material and Board is identified by a unique code (e.g. MFC18-BEECH). The program uses the material code in the part list to select candidate board sizes for cutting. At the main screen:-
● Select: Libraries - Board library
or
Select the Toolbar option
The screen shows the list of materials and board sizes in the library. The top pane shows the materials and the lower pane the boards for the selected material.
The material code ties the material (and board sizes) to items in the part list.
This data is used to create a list of available board sizes for cutting.
Notes
- The Board library is an Access MDB database (millimetres: mmatv9.mdb, inches: imatv9.mdb). The file can be accessed directly (e.g. Using Access).
- For some earlier version the MDB file was secured with a WorkGroup security file and could not be accessed directly without joining the WorkGroup and using a password.
