CutList Plus woodworking software lets you quickly generate cutting diagrams that make the most efficient use of your plywood and lumber. Calculate exactly how much material to buy for your project, and what it will cost. Even generate formatted pricing proposals for your customers.

Spend more time in your workshop, less time drawing layouts

New features in version 2011 give you even more control over your cutting diagrams.

• With Drag and Drop editing of layout diagrams, you can place parts exactly where you want them. Drag them into a different position on a diagram, or drag them to a different diagram. Even force them to be rotated.
• "Pinned" diagrams allow you to freeze selected layouts, while still allowing other diagrams to be worked on and costs to be updated.
• Automatic Snap-to-Kerf function while dragging parts lets you align parts with exising saw kerfs.
• The Pricing tool now lets you apply a customer discount, either fixed amount or percentage.
• Cutting diagrams can now show through-cut "slice" dimensions around the edges--even if the diagram was edited manually.

Now it's easy to make changes and instantly re-calculate your cutting diagrams and project costs.

• Generate optimized sheet goods layouts and dimensioned lumber cutting diagrams.
• Generate materials requirements lists and project cost estimates based on your cut list.
• Print labels to keep your parts organized as you work.
• Calculate edge-banding automatically.
• Keep track of your raw materials inventory and automatically adjust it based on your projects.
• Adjust your expected lumber yield at any time to instantly see your new project cost estimate.
• Combine multiple projects into one large project.
• Import parts lists from Microsoft Excel® and CAD software.
• Export layout diagrams and "take-off" lists.
• Switch between Imperial and metric units at any time.
• Group parts into sub-assemblies for large projects.

The comprehensive and powerful capabilities of the program are designed to put you in total control of your project:

• Full support for rough lumber, dimensioned lumber and sheet goods of all sizes.
• Built-in support for many pricing systems, including board-feet, cubic feet, cubic meters, square feet, square meters, lineal meters, and more.
• "Dashboard" controls let you adjust optimization settings.
• Calculate your costs based on either full or partial sheets.
• Automatically picks the best size sheets/boards, based on your preferences.
• Choose your fonts, colors and patterns for cutting diagrams.

Parts List View

This is the main parts list, showing all the milled parts that make up your woodworking project. From here, you can click on any column header to sort the list. Or, you can move parts up or down, insert new parts, even sort by cross-section. When you're ready, CutList Plus will renumber your parts for you. If you've ever made a last-minute change, you can appreciate how helpful it is to have all the re-calculations taken care of automatically.

Above, the edge-banding information panel is displayed below the list of parts. This allows you to specify which edges of each part require banding, and what banding material is needed for each edge. If you are using solid wood edging, you can have the program make the necessary adjustments to the dimensions of the parts, to account for the thickness of the edging.

Layout Diagrams View

Drag and Drop Editing

You can drag parts to rearrange them on diagrams, or move them to other diagrams. When you move close to nearby saw kerfs, those kerfs light up and the part will automatically snap to alignment.

Optimisation Settings

Sheet Goods Bill of Materials

CutList Plus will figure out what sizes of stock you need for your project, based on the sizes and prices of your suppliers. It will keep track of how much you have on hand, and how much you need to purchase. You can choose to round up the materials requirements to whole boards or sheets, as in this screen shot. Or, you can pro-rate the materails needed based on the portion of each board or sheet that is actually needed for the project.

Hardware Costs

You can also use CutList Plus to track costs for hardware and supplies. These costs are grouped in categories that you define (for example, Hardware and Finishing Supplies).
