which part info appears on the cutting layout with priority

the location of language files
- new feature: added option to mark

good as if the parts were entered with their "Length"
larger then their "width". The rotation of parts was
fixed.
- bug fixed:
if trims were defined for a panel their cost was not accounted
in the "Cost calculation" section. This was fixed by
adding the trims surface to the "Waste" column in the

|
version 3.3 - 2010-03-27 |
- new feature: added DXF Export function
to allow exporting of cutting layouts to .dxf files
- new feature: added "Group"
function to group parts together and set the quantity for the
group of parts instead of setting the quantity of each part

function. The "Smart-Trim" function is very useful if
you do not wish to have a trim on all panels and you can not cut
too close to the panel edge because the edges would become damaged

if a job contained parts with one of their sides larger than the
source panel similar side the optimization engine failed to correctly
rotate that part and the final results were not as good as they
could be

fixed "Grid index out of range" issue. This error only
appeared if all jobs from the Jobs list were deleted

|
version 3.2 - 2009-10-15 |
- new feature: added new "Parts"
count field in the status bar to display the parts count in each
layout
- new feature: added option to choose
the location where the cutting layout is stored: on network database
or on the local computer (under "Database" tab of the
"Settings" window)
- new feature: added "Creation
date" information for jobs and "Last update" information
for cutting layouts
- new feature: added "Auto-Save"
functionality for jobs (under "Database" tab of the
"Settings" window)
- new feature: added functionality
to remember the printer used for labels and for the other areas
of the software. For ex.: if a roll printer is used for labels
and a standard A4/Letter size printer for the cutting layout,
Smart2DCutting will automatically select the correct printer for
the task.
- bug fixed:
there were situations when job data was overwtitten by another
jobs data. This happened if the Jobs grid contained many jobs
and users working simultaneously on the database were deleting
jobs older than the job selected in the jobs grid
- bug fixed:
the "Layouts count" column in "Select best"
optimization window displayed sometimes incorrect values
- bug fixed:
the optimization engine grouped layouts with parts of same sizes
but different part number, description or partcode. This resulted
in a smaller number of cutting layout pages but some of the parts
were not visible on the cutting layout (although they were optimized)
- bug fixed:
when pasting fractional data from an .xls file it happened that
the fractional data was incorrectly displayed as a date value
- bug fixed:
if an edge-band was defined for the Length of a part and that
part was rotated during optimization, the edge-banding information
printed on layouts was confusing and the edge-banding symbol was
incorrectly printed on labels along the Width of the part (bands
marks for Length and Width were swapped on the label).

version 2.5 - 2008-02-12 |
- bug fixed: "Divide by Zero"
error message was displayed when previewing labels for a new job
with no panels/parts defined.

pos" value was reset to 0 when changing label styles in the
"Labels" section.
- bug fixed: if the parts list contained
a part bigger than the specified panel, the cutting report displayed
a wrong qty of used panels.
This only happened if a single panel size was entered and only
in the "Cutting report" section.
- bug fixed: problem when last job
was deleted without previously saving its panels & parts data.
The panels/parts data of the previous job were overwritten with
panels/parts data of the deleted job.
This only happened if the deleted job was last in the jobs grid.
- bug fixed: when using non-metric
units the surface of the parts was computed wrong if the part
qty was higher than 1.
This only happened if the units were set to in, ft or din.
- new feature: ability to insert
records anywhere in the grid instead of only at the end of the
grid as before
- new feature: allow decimal values
for mm. Dimensions in mm can have now up to 2 decimals.

in parts grid. On labels this field is printed as barcode

labels in "Cutting layout order". The labels are printed
in the order they appear in the cutting layout. The old "logical"
order was kept and it is called now "Cutting report order"
- new feature: added option to automatically
execute "Booking of panels/parts" after optimization
- new feature: added option to hide
"Material", "Part-code" and "Turn"
columns on the print preview page

the job description on cutting layouts
- new feature: added option to hide
surface & offcuts info on cutting layouts

description field of panels, parts and offcuts on the cutting
layout tab. The changes are visible on the printed cutting layout
and on the labels. The text entered on the cutting layout tab
is reset when a new job is loaded or when the optimization is
executed. To keep the changes, the cutting layout needs to be
saved.
This new feature facilitates the communication between the person
who is generating the cutting layout and the workers who are cutting
the pieces.
