It probably won’t be the best layout possible, but all you need to do is hit the button again and you will get another layout. Then you add your sheetgood or timber stock in the same manner.Īll you then need to do is hit the AutoLayout button and the program will then come up with a usable cutting diagram for you.
If there are more than one of the same part, you can specify a quantity as well. You simply enter each required panel into the program length, width, material thickness and a label. (This is a design from Steve Ramsay – Mere Mortals). Say you were building a small storage unit to go under your bed. If I can plan my projects out better at the design stage, I can see what sort of scraps I can expect to have, and then make adjustments so that they are as useful as possible. My shop is always full of odd ends and scraps of wood, I’m a terrible hoarder and find it hard to throw scraps away – even if those scraps are effectively useless because of their odd shape or size. Well, plain and simple, I want to save money!
Here’s an update and quick demo of my cutlist generating program, tentatively named ‘Fit It’.
