Patterns are sorted by material so any patterns for offcuts are either first for each material, last for each material, or remain in board order. Use this parameter to choose the position of patterns for offcuts. The options are:-

 

Board list sequence

First per material

Last per material

First in run
Last in run

 

Use this parameter to choose the order.

Notes

 

- Affects the order of patterns produced by the optimiser.  If the patterns are changed or re-sequenced later this parameter is not followed.

 

- Shaped Nesting II and Rectangular Nesting only

 

- ‘First’ and ‘Last’ options do not apply when open parts are restricted and the board loading sequence is overridden.

 

- First / Last in run sorts all offcuts (for all materials) to the start or end of a run. The sequence of offcut patterns is by material and in the same order as the non-offcut patterns.
