Create a cut list for the sheets nested in ProNest

After you have saved a nest from ProNest to Tekla PowerFab, you can update production and inventory as follows:

  1. Open a production control job.
  2. Click the Production Control ribbon tab.
  3. On the menu, select Review > Cut Lists.

    The Cut Lists dialog opens.

  4. Click New Cut List.

    The Production Control Purchasing Report Filters dialog opens.

  5. Click Make Report.

    The Report Selection dialog opens.

  6. Click Save Cut List.
  7. Type a description and select a due date for the cut list.
  8. Ensure that Share Cut List is selected.
  9. Click Save To Cut List.

    The new cut list appears in the Cut Lists dialog.

  10. In the Cut Lists dialog, double-click the new cut list.
  11. To view the nest details of an item, double-click the item in the cut list.
  12. To see images of the nest, click Nest Image.
  13. When an item in the cut list has been cut by a machine, in the Cut Lists dialog, select the item and click Cut.
  14. Define the properties of the used inventory item.
  15. Define the drop properties.
  16. To remove the item from the Tekla PowerFab inventory and add the resulting remnant to the inventory, click TFS.

    The status of the item in the cut list is now set to Complete and highlighted in green.

    The remnant item is linked to ProNest and can be used in ProNest for further nesting.

    You can see an image of the remnant, if you double-click the remnant item in the Inventory dialog.
