xx Cutlist Grain Orientation
« Thread started on: Apr 3rd, 2015, 11:12am »

Heya,


I make melamine cabinets as well as plywood. Both would have different orientations, is the optimizer flexible with grain orientation or does it automatically place "length of cut" first as a preference?

The optimizer treats all panels as though they have a grain to them.

I see, so if there is no grain in the material (mdf, melamine) it wont put cuts vertical across grain? Can we make that happen?

Probably not. The optimizer section of the program took several months to write and I really don't want to mess with it (mess it up). And if the parts were rotated I would also need to re-write the dxf output section as well to get the dados and shelf holes rotated.

Hmm, that's completely understandable. Ive got a very large job making melamine cabinets. Trying to optimize my cut offs as much as possible.
