Optimizer Configurations

To send files for cutting using the Cut Pro Plugin, it is necessary to make some settings:

 

1. Within Promob, go to Optimizer Configuration.

In the Settings tab, set:

File

1. Create first line with header: set whether the file generated by the optimizer includes a header.

 

Settings

1. Open Cut Pro: Check this option to have the Cut Pro software open automatically after optimization.

2. Full path: Specify the directory where files will be saved; by default, the path is C:\Program Files\Promob\Cut Pro\Program\bin.

IMPORTANT: To open files generated by Cut Pro, the respective software must be installed on your machine.

NOTES:

  • If the Cut Pro executable is not found at the path entered in the Full Path field, the following message will be displayed:

  • The default path used by the system is C:\Program Files\Promob\Cut Pro\Program\bin. If Cut Pro was installed in another location, update the Full Path field with the directory where the executable is located.

 

IMPORTANT:

  • this check occurs every time the plugin settings are saved, regardless of whether the path setting for Cut Pro was changed. Therefore, the message may appear even after modifying only other options, such as label settings.

  • If you do not want Cut Pro to open automatically, uncheck the Open Cut Pro option. This way, the system stops validating the executable path and this message will no longer be shown.

 

3. Concatenate material type with description: When enabled, the material description in the .csv file will also include the material type. This is applicable in cases where the material type is not already in the description. If the material type is already included, the description remains unchanged.

IMPORTANT: This setting is unchecked by default.

Example:

  • Unchecked setting: 6mm White

  • Checked setting: MDF 6mm White

4. CutPro export folder: defines the folder where Cut Pro files will be saved.
 

5. Column separator: set the character used as the column separator.

6. Decimal separator: set the character used as the decimal separator.

7. Use default project identifier: set whether the final file name follows the default format (ClientName_Environment_3D) or uses a custom name. When unchecked, the Project Identification setting becomes available.

 

Images

1. Create label images: enable to generate label images.

2. Create item images: enable to generate item images.

3. Create module images: enable to generate module images.
