With this section you want to give the user a quick tool to understand and use this software. For this we're going to have a practical example. Suppose
we have the following panels:
In the Data section, we insert in the respective tables Panels and Order, the above values.
Attention to the last column of the tables. Respectively Pr. (Progressive) for the table Panels and Rtz (rotation) for the table Order. In the first you
can tell the program to use priority table panels, i.e. by inserting 1.2 .3 values, ... the use of the panels will take place starting from those with value 1
to switch to those with value 2 and continue with those with growing value.This is only true if you are using Elaborate optimization.
In the second you can tell if the piece can be rotated. In the case of insert rotation S (S = Yes).

Type squared surfaces indicate the areas of waste, while the oblique striped surfaces type indicate the areas of the remnants.
In the Totals you have the summary of surfaces of panels used, products, parts, and remnants of the scrap. The table shows the list of parts and/or
panels depending on the option chosen in the View menu.

You can also print labels for the pieces to produce or to those selected and displayed in the table. This is done with the commands:
Through the system parameters you can set the optimization criterion to use when optimizing. The program can always perform the selected policy,
or leave the user the choice every time. System parameters there are more tabs that describes.
Let's start by Optimization.
Standard
In this case the search optimization algorithm to insert more equal pieces in each panel or rest of optimally Panel choosing between all the best
solutions. It is the recommended policy in most cases.
Elaborated
In this case the algorithm is able to better optimize specific cutting planes but needs more resources. It is recommended in cases where the
number of pieces to be produced is not too high and/or in case you are willing to wait longer to be processed. The cut takes place starting from
the smaller Panel and continues on other panels in ascending order of area. Alternatively, you can assign a different order of panels by setting a
value in the "progressive". In this case it is used starting with the one with value 1 and value 2, 3, 4, etc. Depending on the selection of pieces
to be produced depends on processing time. And the process terms without optimization, it is therefore necessary to increase the time and the
maximum number of iterazion.
Automatic
Apply multiple algorithms of optimization and choose one that generates the best solution.
Combined
Applies a set of optimization algorithms that take into account coverage, number of iterations, and some additional parameters.
This type of optimization may take a lot of time and effort on PC resources, but it does have better results in optimization.
To chose
Allows you to choose which use optimization whenever you run an optimization
Instead of setting individual output limiters, the optimization criteria can match the choice of using the parameters defined: Cover Minimun,
Cover Media or Cover Maxim which allow you to search for a better or less optimized result depending on the selected coverage (these parameters
contribute to determining the result by matching the optimization type with certain coverage values, number of iterations, and using a number of
additional parameters).

The program, to facilitate the inclusion in section Data, manages to master the materials. You can create a list of materials by entering a code and the
description in table Material.
