Software For Figuring How Many....


Is their software for figuring how many user defineable sizes you can get out of sheet stock?

For example if I need 4 pcs of plywood. Say 2 of them are 21" (wide) x 27" (long) and the other 2 pcs. are 23" (wide) x 70" (long) and the material I want to get it out of is 4' x 8' stock how many pcs. of stock will I need to get the pcs I want?

That would really help my brain out.

Thanks

I am in love, on the surface this program seems awesome. It has a 30 day trial.

Unless somebody on this board comes up with another program I am definitely buying this.

That's just simple mathmatics dude.
Multiplication and subtraction.
By the time you turn your computer on, open the program, and punch in the numbers, you could have already determined your answer with a little arithmatic and maybe a pad and pencil.

When I get a chance I am going to post my cut list for some veneers I need to make, I bet I can turn on my computer, open the program and punch in the numbers before you can figure it out with arithmetic, pad and
paper.
