hello
I have set all setings like you are shoving but it stil isnt using all the cut-offs
It stil prefers to use the full panel.

After discussion with the development team, you can prioritise the drop by increasing the off-cuts depreciation percentage.
All the best, Alex

I have send request to dev team’s to force cut-off first
but the tests seem consistent, by changing Off-cuts quality to max

Hi,
I think you’re looking for this option
From Optimisation parameters > Advanced tab > Off-Cuts… > Select option “Use Stock follow-up Parameters”
Else there is no specific option to force Off-cuts first
I’ll ask to dev teams, if there is better solution or if news option can be create
Hope that’s helpful, Alex

If this is set up this should prioritize using the off-cuts.
Refer to the attached image, this is a job I have used to test and there are 3 x off-cuts used. Even though they are referenced as panel 2/3/5, not panel 1, they are still being used. OC won’t always reference them as number 1 in the list.
I can continue to run some tests on this.
Are you achieving the same results I am achieving?

Hello,
I have it set like this, but i keep seeing that the program still prefers using full panels if the optimization is better. So is there an option that regardles of the optimization quality it prioritzes the offcuts?
