Optimalon Cut List Software

[tim walker]

I have used the software previously and it does a good job, but all the work was with 3/4" stock. Has anyone used it on a combo 3/4" and 1/2" ply design or do I need to generate two different cut lists based on my needs for each size?

The software I have a licence for, Cut List Plus (Silver), easily handles multiple thickness materials in a single project. Each component has length, width and thickness and this can be further differentiated by material type...plywood of various species and types, MDF, particle board, Melamine; you define them in "inventory" and choose the material type for the component(s) at an individual level in addition to dimensions.

+1 for CutList. You can even specify grain direction for plywood stock in inventory and the parts to be cut from it.
