Set whether cutting time is taken into account
Most users should include cutting time in the optimisation and allow the program to balance waste and cutting time correctly. However, if waste is of overriding importance turn off consideration of cutting times. This also gives a faster optimisation.
It would be reasonable to do this where the material cost is very high and the labour costs relatively low.
Notes
- Any reports still show the actual cutting time of job if cutting times are included as Saw parameters but those times are only produced after the optimisation is complete and do not affect the optimisation result
