Did you try it out Dave?

No. I haven't. I did look at the website for the optimization program but since I have almost no need of that sort of application, I didn't download it. I get more than enough info out of the CutList and Layout plugin to satisfy my needs.

I agree! One of the most important aspects of cutting out stock for fine work is deciding how to work around defects in the wood, such as checks, knots, stains, and so on. No automated layout program will ever do that for you! It does no good to save on wood from an optimized layout if a loose knot ends up right in the middle of a drawer front.
