Although Corte realizes the calculation of the optimum cutting patterns in a fully automatic way, it could arise practical situations in which manual modifying, or even full defining, of some patterns may be necessary. For example:

 

· Patterns with a very complex geometry are generated.

· Take an interest in manual completing of the integer solution when the exact-rounding goes beyond the probable integer optimum.

· The smaller parts in the launch are disabled to increase calculation performance. Later, those parts are distributed in either the generated offcut or newly added patterns.

· New parts and/or materials are added to the calculated solution.

· Some patterns need adjusting of their cuts to facilitate practical execution.

 

Important: To manually edit the cutting patterns, you should know how to select semiproducts. Consult the Cutting Patterns Sheet.

 

Clarifying ideas, it is suitable at this point to distinguish among actions that condition cutting patterns generation and actions that modify those patterns once calculated. In the first group of actions you have:

 

· Definition of cutting options.

· Disabling of parts and materials

 

Actions that modify the calculated solution are:

 

· Changing the repetition

· Inserting and deleting patterns

· Editing the patterns

· Copying semiproducts

· Adjusting the patterns

 

Tip: It is good practice to copy the pattern or semiproduct before editing. By doing so, you always can undo by pasting in the original location.
