For example, you can use templates to hold certain components together for optimization.
Step-by-step instructions in screenshots
You can see here how to use the templates in practice in descriptive screenshots from the import of the parts list to the finished cutting plan.
Step 1: Import a BOM
Step 2: In the table settings (1), add the "Stencil" field (2)
Step 3: By clicking on the icon, a template can be selected for each component.
Step 4: Select the stencil, select the grain direction if necessary and confirm.
Step 5: Click on the position within the template (1) and confirm (2).
Step 6: Quick selection (2) by double-clicking in the cell (1).
Step 7: A new cut list (1) has been created. It includes the template as a new component. The icon (2) can be used to preview the template for checking.
Step 8: Preview the stencil component with real dimensions.
Step 9: The result: In the main cutting plan (1), the template is placed as a separate component. In a second cutting plan (2), the template can be separated into the individual parts.
