Layout tab

After you run Optimize sheet layout on the Setup tab, DoorCut jumps over here so you can look at how the parts fall on each sheet.

Reading the picture

• The big outer rectangle is the whole sheet.
• The orange strips are edge trim — parts fit inside the area left over.
• Each colored block is one part; the label is its width × length.
• Click a sheet to blow it up so the small parts are easier to read.
• Right-click a sheet for the enlarged view and thumbnail zoom.
• Use the Zoom slider to size all the sheet thumbnails at once.

Moving between sheets

Prev sheet and Next sheet walk you through every sheet the job used. The bar above the tabs shows how much of the sheet you are using, how many sheets it took, and anything that did not fit.

If something looks off

1. Double-check the part sizes on the main cut list (the Parts tab is read-only).
2. Check the sheet width, length, blade width, and trim on Setup.
3. Try the other cut workflow if parts did not fit or the cuts look awkward. Strict guillotine keeps every cut straight across; Rip-first chases the best yield on mixed jobs.
4. Bump up the sheet quantity if the job just needs more stock.

Print and save

Once it has run, use the buttons on the Layout toolbar:

• Export report — saves a plain text file with a parts table and a simple picture of each sheet, good for taping to the wall or filing.
• Print report — shows a preview, then prints a plain-text parts table and ASCII diagram on letter paper.
• Print layouts — landscape, one sheet per page. The diagram scales to fill the left side; a numbered part list on the right shows every cut size (including narrow parts like 2.5" wide). Match the number on each part to the list. Print at 100% scale with landscape orientation in your printer dialog.
• Print labels — 30 labels to a letter-size page (Avery 5160 / 5260 style). Pick which info goes on them; the sheet numbers come from the last layout you ran.
