Otimize Nesting Feature Voting

Hi. If you have something you need from Otimize Nesting, please tell us what it is and vote for other’s ideas. I put a few things on the list just to get you started, but feel free to add your own! We want to better understand what you need from Otimize Nesting and to build plans around how we make things a reality for our customers in the future.

I suggest you ...

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can vote and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can vote on it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Fantastic - thanks.

    Thank you so much for this! I was struggling to work out the best cuts for my artist canvas, to maximise a 10m roll of canvas. this has helped me to make the best use for the art works and minimise the waste of expensive canvas.
    It would be great if it was exportable to word doc or excel, to send to the supplier to cut for me on shipping, but I used a snipping tool to cut the image and will send that to them instead.
    Thank You!!

        • TER UMA OPÇÃO PARA ORGANIZAR OU ATÉ MESMO EDITAR AS PEÇAS NA FOLHA DE MDF.

          Devido não ter essa opção, fiz um plano de corte, e algumas peças poderia colocar em outras folhas que estavam sobrando, mas devido não ter essa opção, no plano acrescentou mais uma folha, na hora do corte, consegui cortar e diminui uma folha inteira, sem contar com as outras pedaceira que não tinha como ser utilizada no plano. Com a edição de peças poderia organizar muito melhor as peças e economizar ainda mais.

          • Quantidade de Cortes

            É de suma importância para quem vende peças cortadas aos Cliente que o sistema tenha a quantidade de cortes pois para a rede moveleira isso é indispensável.

            Atenciosamente.

                • Open selected input box without multiple clicking

                  When a line is "added", and the cursor is already in the first box (name), it should be open for input. It is necessary to click not once, but twice to actually open for input. Also, it would be nice if, when you have tabbed all the way across an open line item, it automatically added another line instead of having to click "add". On big jobs, these are tedious and unnecessary steps that add up very quickly.

                    • Define a minimum widht for each margin of the plan to let them free.

                      I need to define a minimum widht for each margin, cause our material could present irregularities at the edges and borders.

                      • Font Size Options

                        When doing hardwood parts, the "inventory" is typically only about 6" wide, and up to 120" long. When the "otimizing" is done, the print is so incredibly small, it can't be read even with magnifying glass.

                                Interesting program however need to be improved in order to make it more useful:
                                1st- Support for dxf export (ready for cutting on Cnc)
                                2nd- Add scrap values from the edge (with different X-Y values)
                                3rd- i.e. 6 pieces 1000x400mm (with disk thickness=20) the 6 pieces should be drawn with no gap in between.
                                4th- Import from txt is it possible?
                                5th- Avoid mouse for manual filling data: when using keyboard the arrows must open the field (no need for mouse click on that field)
                                6th- Path for importing/exporting data should be remembered (don't know if now is possible)
                                7th-…

                                    • Sequences of cuts and machines.

                                      It's very important to see the sequence of the cuts. It's not always possible to realize which ones come first. I have to set-up the stops gauges for the correct lenghs. Each machine (operational post) have to be set for each lenght, because I need to cut a lot of sheets continuously. I have 12 guillotines, but I can't charge more then 5 machines per batch.
                                      So, I need a place in the software to show which work posts I have, and their particularities, like sizes of the blade and maximum widht.

                                        Hello folks
                                        I frequently am cutting from board lengths (eg: 10 lengths of 8ft 1x5 for a BBQ cabinet). It would be to have an option to display and print cut layouts with more than one inventory item per page. This provides a much quicker verification on screen that all is well, and prevents the significant waste of paper in printing one page per board. You have a truly grand piece of software here.
