The cursor will move to the next field.

Alternatively, you can edit part details by clicking the edit button on the left of the part name.



Please note that the material list will contain only those materials that are present in the Materials list. Smart1DCutting manages different material sources and parts based on this field. If you don't plan to use different material sources and parts you can leave this field empty all the time.

Important: Please make sure you enter the same material string for sources and parts with the same material type or you will not get the expected results. The best practice is to add the material type to the Materials list and then select it from the drop-down box for each source or part.
Even the smallest difference between 2 material strings will cause the program to treat them as different materials. For ex.: "PVC Pipe" and "PVCPipe" are considered different material types by the optimization engine.

The part code field is printed on the labels in barcode format.

The left angle and right angle fields let you specify the final cutting angle of the part. The cutting angle values are for your information only, it doesn't affect the cutting layout in any way. During optimization, all parts are considered to have 90-degree (90°) angle cuts at both sides.
The cutting angle fields are printed on the Cutting Layout and on the Cutting Report.
