THANK YOU ALEX!
I have another question.
Have you ever heard of Zoho account which can store material stock.
I wonder if I can link the material from zoho account directly to opticut rather than import from excel.
The reason is that zoho account is much faster to adjust and edit stock faster than excel.

Hi,
Bars are manipulated in Libraries > Bar Materials and used in the assembled parts and the joint structure.
The difference is that in the Assembled Part submethod, you predefine the default assembly structure.

Hi,
1° - PolyBoard PRO output 3D DXF , 3DS, and Parts processing for printing or into PDF
PolyBoard PRO PP like PRO and 2D DXF for CN ( or for compatible CN native files format, SCM PGM,XLL,PGMX, Biesse CID/CIX, WoodWoop MPR...)
OptiCut 50 > PRO provide Cutplan
OpitCut PRO PP is for compatible CNC saw
It is not obligatory to have PB PRO PP and OC PRO PP, but it depends on your needs.
For example you can have PB PRO PP and OC 500, or PB PRO and OC PRO PP
2° - I look for grain direction for materials, but I don't think there is solution
3° - You have Bars and Panels materials and both are managed separably
In general, bars are used for assembled elements
But bars and panels can be changed from the assembly menu.
Bars work with lengths, and panels with surface (height and width).
Cheers, Alex

Thank you alex! im seeking for a solution to tick panel grain for each of material ,so im wondering if there are any solution to set it automatically from panel stock especially when importing from excel? if so can you send me sample. Or do i need to tick manually in panel material

Hi there,
OptiNest is a CNC nesting software capable of handling non-rectangular shapes.
It works with DXF files and requires PolyBoard PRO PP (Post-Processor version), or drawing shapes in a CAD software.
It does not handle materials
OptiCut is for Beem Saw (or compatible CNC saw)
It works with a simple list exported by PolyBoard PRO, or a CSV sheet export software, but you already know that 😉
For pre-cut parts to be worked CNC piece by piece, or manual assembly.
Both manage off-cuts, panel stock, labels and cutting plan.
Cheers, Alex

For link PolyBoard to OptiCut you just need to use same materials Folder
Read all before make change!
From PolyBoard , to change PolyBoard to OC Materials folders
Select synchronize with option
Or Copy location From PB to past in OC
To load PB Materials in OC
You can edit Materials manually from menu Libraries
If you install our Quick Design libraries, that's replace your current work
But that's syncronize PB to OC, install our preset of panel materials, methods, sub-methodes and hardwares
https://wooddesigner.org/polyb.....-software/
A little further down the page, remember to close PolyBoard and OptiCut before installing

It all depends on what the documents are for, if it is for your manufacturing Opticoupe will be most useful to know how to cut the panels,
If it's for a partner, if it have or not he has such software,
noted that with PolyBoard,
the positions of the columns also configurable in the options of export towards external software

Another question, since i use Polyboard to design the cabinet using the parameter that i have built in polyboard especially panel material and material style, then how can we know that our materials and panels are available in stock?
Since the polyboard can generate cutting list and Opticut can generate optimized module panel for cutting so which one is the common one that should be printed for carpenter?

Hi,
The shared violation depends on your editor, but in general, the file cannot be opened in another program at the same time.
Looking at your CSV, opening it in a text editor, it starts and ends with a quote, and can't work.
and txt, should work but you need to specify each column,
here by placing the columns somewhat randomly
Same work for panels Stocks, and if check Material automatically by add in materials libraries panel
Hope that's helpful,
Alex

Hi,
This is not possible from PolyBoard. There is a solution to add new materials in "panel materials" libraries but with OptiCut
Can you send me a Sheet sample? (Uploading design files, images and video)
Cheers, Alex
