Optimizer Update 2.1 - January 2025

Changes effective: January 22nd, 2025
Version: 2.1

New Features/Enhancements

  • User Defined Blocking
    • The ability to change waste or an offcut into blocking to be shipped with a project.
    • The user would click to "convert" the piece to blocking.



    • The user will select which project the block will belong to.



    • The new blocking piece is then created and the project information is identified in the mouseover notation.



  • Edit Offcut – Split Offcut
    • Allow the user to split an offcut into two pieces from a specified length.
    • The user would click "Split" from the blocking dropdown.





    • The user would use the Length Dropdown to pick the desired offcut length.
      • The dropdown will only list lengths between the set Min Offcut length and the total length of the original offcut.
    • The user makes a selection and the original piece is updated to show the two new lengths.



Bug Fixes

  • Display Issue After Edit Cut (Hundegger)
    • Fixed an issue that occurred when moving a grouped cut and the offcut or waste was not last.
  • Distribution group numbers not updating when adding material list to Batch
    • Add logic to delete the distribution group settings when adding a material list and the distribution group is set to Per Project or Per Level. This forces a rebuild downstream.
  • Edit cut list text display issue
    • Fix to show full board length text on edit cut list screen. This also means offcuts will show actual length.
  • If Maximum waste is not set, Minimum offcut value is used
    • This reduces the likelihood of a user creating a less than 1’ offcut on the edit cut list screen.
  • Product mapping issue with Material List import
    • Added some additional logging. No changes for encoding issue.
