We accept:

Incorporation of the Launch Templates: Instead of disposing, as usual so far, of a sole default configuration, with launch templates you can permanently keep as many different configurations as you wish and use any of them later to create new launches.

Two new technological options: Restrict Cutting Levels and Material Margins: With the first option you can reduce complexity in the generated cutting patterns. The second option will allow you to adjust the effective dimensions of the material. The combined use of this two new options and the others existing already will provide the program with a greater extensibility facilitating its adaptation to some special cutting technologies such as Bars Cutting at Angle and CNC Punch Press Parts Layout Optimization.

Four Default Label Types and wide support for generating their formats.

Substantial improvement of the Completing Algorithm inside the calculation engine: Now Corte optimizes even more by using the offcut from the theoretic solution first and then generating best optimized completing variants. All that increases the probability of reaching the integer optimum in the exact solution.

A new group of Calculation Options: This new group of options will allow you greater control over the whole calculation process and a chance for increasing its effectiveness manually. Now you can decide which phases of the calculation will be applied, modify the rounding criteria, increase performance of the calculations by reducing the number of cuts to analyze, force the use of certain patterns in the calculated solution, and so on.

New tools of wide use such as Windows Calculator and Multiply Quantities: Now you can easily show the Windows calculator from within the Corte’s environment or quickly calculate new quantities of parts and/or materials by multiplying the current quantities by a factor (or dividing if such a factor is lesser than unity) .

New facilities for introducing data: When editing part or material data, you can entirely select rows or columns just by a click in the row’s Id or the column’s title, respectively. If you use the TAB or <down arrow> key to move the focus cell beyond the last row, a blank row will be automatically added. Conversely, if you return from the last row, being it empty, it will be automatically deleted.

More intuitive and ergonomic interface: Grouping of options in the menus is more logic and intuitive. The Adjust menu containing options to modify the generated patterns is created new. The new option Step Back will allow you undoing changes. The Report view is now inside the launch window. Generating a report will automatically update that view hence you no longer have to close the current report to generate a new one. All the options configuring the working environment, being of general purpose, are now located in the Preferences dialog box, accessible from the Tools menu. New tool bars are created and the status bar is improved. You can chose whether to show any of these bars or not.
