3) Forward
What is Sheet Layout?
Sheet Layout (SL) is a program that takes raw material and
illustrates how to cut it down into smaller pieces. SL is
used with rectangular sheets of material such as plywood,
plastic, foam, fabrics, glass, steel, or just about any
other flat stock material.
SL optimizes the layouts taking into consideration user
input cutting parameters such as, cutting preferences, grain
direction, saw kerf and many others. It literally
considers 10,000's of combinations prior to determining
the optimized layout.
System Requirements:
(1) DOS 3.3 or greater
(2) Less than 640K RAM
(3) Less than 1 MB Disk Space
(4) Files = 10 and Buffers = 10 are minimum requirements for
complete operation of the program and all help files.
(5) A math co-processor is highly recommended but NOT
required.
Forward:
Congratulations. Sheet Layout (SL) is a state of the art
material optimization system. It has been developed during
the last seven years to its present form. It will save you a
lot of time and money. It increases productivity by saving
most of the time you spend calculating part layouts
manually. What once took hours now only takes Sheet Layout
and minutes.
SL is distributed as Shareware. Simply stated, the
Shareware concept permits trying the product to determine if
it meets your end use requirements prior to paying for the
product. There is no warranty offered and I assume
absolutely no liability for its use. Your continued use of
the product and your voluntary registration of the product
is verification that you have tried the product and find it
to meet your requirements.
Having said that, my goal is to achieve a high level of
customer satisfaction. The first step is to offer a quality
product at a substantially lower price than comparable
commercial products. About the only sacrifice you make is
giving up phone support during normal working hours.
However, after using Sheet Layout for 30 minutes or so,
you'll probably note that phone support really isn't
necessary.
Three (3) registered versions of SL are offered to match the
needs and budgets of individuals and corporations. All
three registered versions are exactly the same with the
exception of the capacity of the optimization program. In
addition to capacity restrictions, the evaluation copy also
has grain direction control disabled.
The capacity of SL is measured by the number different part
sizes and the quantity for each size that you can enter for
any particular job. The user interface has no limitations,
that is, you can enter any number of parts/sizes. However,
at optimization run time, any values exceeding the
parameters of the version which you have will be "clipped"
to the maximum allowable quantities for your registered
version. No warnings that part or quantity clipping has
taken place are made to the user. See the Program Update
screen available from the Main Menu for more details.
Best wishes. I hope you benefit greatly from the use of my
product. Don Michelotti, 707 Sunlight Drive, Rochester
