Consider offcuts

 

Optimising parameter to set whether boards created as offcuts are included in optimising

 

Where there are offcuts from previous runs in the Board library these offcuts are typically available for use in later runs. This values determines whether these offcuts are considered in optimising or not.

For example, for some runs it is useful, to speed production or ensure quality, that offcuts are not used in the run.

 

Material parameters

 

When the parameter is set in an optimising parameter list the value applies to every material in the run. To apply the value differently for each material it can be set as a Material parameter (Main screen - Parameters - Material parameters - Waste). A material parameter setting overrides the setting in the optimising parameter list. For example the box can be checked for material: CHIP18MM and not checked for material MELAMINE-15MM as required.

 

 

Notes

 

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

 

- If offcuts are used also look at the Optimising parameter: Use Offcuts first
