Defining the Marker

In this step, you can define the properties of the marker table. This includes the width and length of the table/s, waste limits, plies, etc.

Note: If this is the first time you are defining the marker table, all of the columns will be empty. If you have already defined a table in the past, CutPlan remembers the definitions and displays them automatically.

To define the marker:

1. In the Marker Definitions dialog enter the following details:

2. If you have more than one table, select the Create checkbox next to the material column for each table you want to create.

3. In the Width column, enter the width of your table in inches.

4. In the Length column, enter the length of your table in inches.

5. In the Min Plies column, enter the minimum number of plies per table.

6. In the Max Plies column, enter the maximum number of plies per table.

7. In the Waste Limits column, enter the amount of fabric you want to be defined as waste. This allows for defects.

8. If you have more than one table, select the Calculate checkbox next to the rows of the tables you want to calculate solutions for.

9. Select the Use the same solution for all materials checkbox, if you want to apply the same properties to all materials.

10. Click Next, when you are done.
