Need Software Program for Plywood

[Bill Clemmons]

Does anyone have a FREE software program they use for laying out a sheet of plywood to optimize cutting / minimize waste? I've searched through a number of sites and there are lots of programs out there, but all have a price. :BangHead:

I can get by without this, but if there is one out there, it would be nice to have it.

Thank You.

Bill

If you already use, or are willing to use Sketchup to define your model and/or components, there is a free plugin called CutList for this.

PM sent.

But I found the link.

Thank you both for the help.

Jeff, I use SketchUp for all my drawing now, but didn't realize there was a cutlist to go w/ it. Initially I had a problem getting it to load, but I'll go back and play w/ it some more. That would be ideal for what I do.

Mark, the Delphi program opened just fine, and after playing for a few minutes, I think I've got the hang of it.

Thanks again to both of you.
