The Oversize Check dialogue enables the user to configure our software to check parts in a job against default sheet sizes and sheets in stock and determine how the oversized part is fitted.
Please use the Navigation & Toolbars topic for information on how to access the Global database using your application.
Check for Oversize at Take-Off / Check for Oversize before Nesting

Lets the user specify where the part will be split, whether its Vertical or Horizontal, Top, Bottom, Left, or Right.
Minimum Part Size
