For Producer Cutting by Panels

What is included in the printed form

This print form breaks down the drawing into parts along seams using a point traversal algorithm.

If there are intersecting lines in the ceiling, the algorithm will most likely build the drawings incorrectly, since the traversal is performed by points, not by geometric elements included in the drawing.

Points that have no significance for the drawing, such as points on a straight line, are discarded and will not be taken into account.

  1. You can enable or disable the display of sides with shrinkage

For a detailed description of the print settings themselves, you can find it in our article.

To configure how the "For Producer Cutting by Panels" print form will look, we need to open the program settings and go to the "Print" tab. Open "Print Templates" and select the print form type "For Producer Cutting by Panels".

Now let's go through each setting in order.

  1. Print form type - here you select the print form for which the settings below will be applied. The dropdown list contains all print forms, both from the "Print" tab and from the "Calculation" tab.

  2. Barcode data - in this setting you can choose what data the barcode located on the print will contain.

    There are two data settings for barcodes:

    1. Order number

    2. Invoice barcode

  3. Display barcode - a setting that turns on and off the display of barcodes and QR codes on print forms.

    See example

    Setting enabled

    Setting disabled

  4. Display Special notes - displays Special notes on the print form.

    See example

    Setting enabled

    Setting disabled

  5. Display order author - Displays on the print form the data of who created the order.

    For this setting, you must have authorization enabled in the program.

  6. Display dealer note - Displays on the print form a note that is specified in the dealer card.

    See example
