What's new in Smart2DCutting 3.5.0
Oct 29, 2012
- new feature: the "Works" section was improved to allow for many works to be assigned to a single part
- new feature: added multiple currencies
- new feature: added import/export functions for Materials
- new feature: added option to set the material price at panel level
- new feature: the material price calculator was improved to handle prices per linear units (m, ft and in)
- new feature: added Weight Report grid to the Cutting Report section
- new feature: added Pre-Cutting setting to configure pre-cuts sizes
- new feature: added band thickness value which is deducted from parts width and/or height
- new feature: added option to export remaining parts (Remaining column) in cutting report to CSV or parts file
- new feature: added option to export labels to CSV file
- new feature: added option to display the cuts coordinates on the cutting layout
- new feature: added option to change the font for the cutting layout text
- new feature: added OrderNo. field for Jobs
- new feature: added option to choose from 5 naming alternatives for edges
- new feature: added "Start label" option to allow the printing of labels on a partial sheet (i.e.: labels can be printed starting with label no. 11). This is useful when you used 10 labels on a previous job and would like to use the remaining labels on the current labels sheet.
- new feature: added option to print the job name on labels
- new feature: the "Labels" section user interface was improved to allow for easier labels configuration and for decimal values input
- new feature: the labels in "Label View 1->Cutting layout order" are from "Filtered layouts" only
- bug fixed: the import function failed to import dimensions correctly when imported values where enclosed between quotes
New in Smart2DCutting 3.4 (Oct 29, 2012)
- new feature: added new function to calculate the optimal panel size for a given parts list
- new feature: added option to set which part info appears on the cutting layout with priority
- new feature: added option to set the location of language files
- new feature: added option to mark parts on screen by clicking on them (useful for users who are using the computer screen in the workshop and are not willing to print the cutting layout on paper)
- new feature: optimization engine was improved to handle better multiple panel sizes list
- new feature: added filter function to the "Cutting Layout" section
- new feature: added zoom function to the "Cutting Layout" section
- new feature: added "Column widths" button to the print preview window that allow the user to configure the column widths for the printed reports
- new feature: added option to set the cutting price per panel
- bug fixed: for panel widths smaller than 100 mm a diagonal line was printed on the cutting layout
- bug fixed: if parts were entered with their "Width" larger then their "Length" the optimization results were not as 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 "Material cost" grid
New in Smart2DCutting 3.3 (Oct 29, 2012)
- 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
- new feature: added "Smart-Trim" 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
- bug fixed: 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
- bug fixed: fixed "Grid index out of range" issue. This error only appeared if all jobs from the Jobs list were deleted
New in Smart2DCutting 3.2 (Oct 29, 2012)
- 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).
New in Smart2DCutting 3.0.2 (Mar 19, 2009)
- new feature: added global saw width setting. The saw width can be defined as a global value for all materials or for
- each material type
- new feature: added new "Decimal Feet" unit to “Display units” and “Default data entry units”
- bug fixed: Smart2DCutting failed to start (freezed at 20% while loading) if it could not access the database location
- (i.e. folder doesn't exists or network path not available). If the database path is not accessible, Smart2DCutting will
- display a warning message and will switch to the default database location:
- "%commonappdata%RasterweqSmart2DCuttingdb".
New in Smart2DCutting 2.0 (May 19, 2006)
- significant interface improvements
- better and faster optimization engine
- support for US Customary / British Imperial measurement units:
- - Inches, decimal ("59.0551")
- - Inches, fractional "59 4/64'')
- - Feet and inches ("4' 11 4/64'')
- job management system (group panels, parts and cutting layouts together)
