Not a CutList Pro thing, but I've also seen "sizefitter.com" which seems
to be of a similar ilk. The website looks like it was written by a
Danish mathemetician, probably because it was, but the program looks
useful for coming up with a cut list.

Not from the program it appears. Edit the note then copy past it onto
another program.

I do not see that. I am however running 512 meg memory with about 8
programs running in the back ground.

Yeah but it beats what most vendors charge for a version change. ;~)

Thanks ... I'm too busy using the program to have _ever_ figured that out!

Too bad you can't print the "note", or can you?

I find that when I close the program my mouse jumps around the screen,
apparently as it releases it resources (haven't seen that behavior since Win
3.1) ... could be I just have too many memory resident programs running
anyway.

All in all, its a good upgrade. I thought the price for the CD is a little
steep, though.

Thanks, Leon ...

You click to select a part form the part list, then right click and select
Add/Edit Note. A window pops up and you type your note. Then the part
number box for that part has a small RED triangle in the upper right hand
corner indicating that there is a note linked to this part. If you hover
your cursor over that part number the note appears.

Yeah, my year old Dell takes a little longer to run the optimization
routine. This may be because you can now select 5 different way to optimize
each indivisual sheet.
