Working with the Cutting Layout actually
involves 3 actions: interpreting, loading/saving and printing the cutting
layouts.

- Interpreting the Cutting Layout
The cutting layout is made up of one or more layouts or pages. Each
page contains the cutting layout for an individual source from the Sources
list. If more sources have the same cutting layout, still only one layout
is displayed, but the multiplication factor is incremented for each
source. This means that a cutting layout having a multiplication factor
of 3 actually represents 3 sources with the same length and material
but also with the same number and disposition of parts on them.
Parts and offcuts from every cutting layout are identified by an ID
number. Parts ID number (identification number) is an ordinary number
(e.g. "3") and is in fact the part No. in the Parts grid.
Offcuts ID number is made up of an 'R' and an ordinary number (e.g.
"R3").

- Printing the Cutting Layout
The cutting layout is displayed on the screen and is looking pretty
good. But it's more useful if you can have it on paper. To print the
Cutting Layout click the "Print"
button from the buttons bar. You can select to print all pages or just
some of them.
