Plugin Builder - Cut List Integration

This article discusses the settings for integration with the Cut List cut optimizer, where the following topics are presented:

Optimizer Configurations

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

1. Within Promob, go to Optimizer Configuration.

In the Settings tab, set:

File

1. Create first row with header: set whether the file generated by the optimizer displays a header.

Images

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

Settings

1. In Column separator, define the column separator character.

2. Concatenate material type with description: when this option is enabled, the material description in the .csv file also displays the material type. It applies to cases where the material type is not in the description; if the material type is already in the description, it is not changed.

IMPORTANT: by default, this setting is unchecked and the configuration.

3. File extension: .txt

4. Generate single file: if the value is True - Setting Checked, only one file is generated according to material and thickness.

5. Group by equal dimensions: items are grouped by equal dimensions.

6. Ignore part classification for summing quantity: if the value is True, the part ID is generated in the file grouping.

7. Measurement format: Define the measurement format to be used to convert all values.

• The unit of measurement is already defined, so when you click on this option you will be prompted for a security key, and you should ask Promob Support for help setting it up.

8. Use default project identifier: define whether the final name of the file is the default (NameClient_3D_Environment) or whether a newly defined name is considered. Unchecking this option enables the Project identification setting.

Label Settings

1. In Promob, under Optimizer Configuration, go to Labels.
