List too large - boards

Occurs in several situations where there may be a restriction on the number of board sizes

Optimising

Transfer to saw

Export part and product data

Free cut analysis

There are checks on these limits when entering data but the problem can result from data imported into the board list or from the board selection process when there are a large number of offcuts in the Board library.

- On export or transfer the board limit is often set by the format exported to or by the saw controller.

- For shaped nesting there is a limit of 2000 board sizes

It may be necessary to reduce the number of board sizes or divide the list into smaller lists

Nesting optimising

If the Nesting optimising parameter 'Board pre-cut' is set to Board width or Board length this error occurs if there is more than one board size (with a positive quantity) in the board list.

Free cut analysis

This error typically occurs when there is more than one board size in the board library. The Free cut analysis is designed to examine a specific board size - so only one board size is used.
