Find answers for common questions about Spread & Cut Planner and Gemini experience
After you finish an order you can print a central report that contains all information required for archiving and also for the cutting room. This report can be comprised in single or multiple A4 sheet, according to the order complexity (markers and lay number).
If you have installed Cut Planner on multiple workstations, we advise you to update and install the latest version of the software on all workstations. This is the only way we can guarantee full compatibility between applications and the lack of downtime in the product development process. The dongle is a hardware device (current electronic device) that gives the user the right to use the software (applications) in full license mode, based on paid licenses, and therefore we recommend that the dongle be used on a the only workstation.
When Gemini Cut Planner performs the automatic nesting, the rules and restrictions of each pattern are respected. These rules are defined for each pattern since the design phase, and refer to the rotation freedom and position on the grain axis, at the minimum distance between patterns, at matching the project on the stripes and plaids, to the alignment and matching with other patterns.
The installation kits for all of our latest versions can be found in the Installation Kits in my MyCAD account.
