I have yet find anything for OSX. Cut1.1 is a classic app that work ok,
but Cutlist Pro is MUCH better. I run in under Virtual PC.

I just purchased this program after hearing about it on this group. Its a
very well done practical program. I never realized how much of a drag doing
material layouts was to me until I got this program. The really beautiful
part is to be able to enter your offcuts as materials and have it show you
how to use them up for parts that you need.
My son-in-law recently bought a sailboard that came packed in a box made
from four 4x8 sheets of Luanne plywood. We took the box apart, logged the
pieces in cutlist plus, then my wife entered the sizes she wanted as backer
boards for oil painting canvases. It figured out the cut patterns and saved
me hours of aggravation. The best part is printing out the drawings of the
odd bits of plywood with cutouts clearly marked on the drawings.

I guess I'm missing part of all this. Personally, I don't see
"hours of aggrevation" laying out something, especially something like
painting backer boards. If nothing else, I'd just cut out patterns from
paper, lay them on the wood, and trace them. After all, even after you
use your program, you're still gonna have to measure, and lay out cut
lines.
One of the things I enjoy is me deciding how I want to cut my wood,
etc. You know, using my brain. Using a program for it, might as well
be working for some company, doing stuff like that.
Seems to me, you're missing out on some of the fun stuff.

Different strokes for different folks JOAT. What's fun for you is great and
I won't criticize. I happen to like having a computer do work for me.
There are still plenty of things around to challenge my brain and have fun.

I use CutList too and don't put any lines on the sheet stock. Just set the
rip fence and start whacking. It's not aggravation [sic] I'm looking to
avoid, it's minimizing waste/cutoff on expensive sheet stock like ApplePly.

Perhaps. But 'puters are really great at somethings. Maximizing; finding
optimal solutions (if the programmer did his/her job) is one thing they're
good at.
That is excatly the kind of program that I'm looking for, I will give it a
try.
Thank you very much.

Todd Peterson, who owns the company and wrote the program is also a
woodworker and a very nice guy...Very helpful...
