HOW
CORTE CERTO WORKS
Corte
Certo was designed with the first-time user in mind, as well as the new
operators who will come to substitute him later on.
No
training is therefore required, and money is saved.
Operation
starts with the large buttons at the top of the main window, which are
visible at all times. Of these buttons, the four first ones are the most
important.
 Click on the image to get a closer
look.
The first one, PROJECTS, should be clicked on so
that the pieces you wish to cut may be specified in terms of their
dimensions and numbers.


The second one, RESOURCES, will display the
spreadsheets for registering the plates available for the cut and
the characteristics of fragments (minimum sizes for
future use)


This
is also where cut and material characteristics will be defined, (in the
“properties” window). The illustrations help make everything very clear.
The folders, selectable at the top of the window, allow for registration
of the commercial characteristics to be taken into account in
calculations.

The
third button, CALCULATION, allows for a
variety of configurations – including tests for best possible dimensions
of plates to be purchased, as shown in the figure below.

After
a calculation is performed, its efficiency can be tested through use of
the “What happens if…” button to make changes to the previously
entered characteristics, (for example, by allowing the program to rotate
plates or not taking into account the number of available plates).

Finally,
the fourth button, VISUALIZE, displays the
cut maps, which may be analyzed individually or in groups. To do so, one
may use any of Corte Certo’s many available visualization or editing
tools to make manual changes to the cut maps, including insertion or
removal of pieces.

The
REPORT and LABEL buttons are self-explanatory, and have several editing
options. The CONFIGURE button offers general configuration options such
as language choices, currency to be used, etc.
If,
even so, a beginner user should experiment any difficulty, the HELP
button offers an Operation
Example, as well as an Operation Guide, where subjects
can be easily found and looked at by clicking on the list on the left,
(see picture).

CORTE CERTO
VOCABULARY
Plate:
the sheet of raw material from which the pieces will be
cut.
Piece:
the section that has been ordered and will be cut from the plate, such
as a tabletop or window.
Fragment:
pieces that are left over and whose dimensions may make their use in
future cuts feasible. Corte Certo allows for the available fragments to
be included into calculations with just a click.
Remnant
pieces:
the leftover pieces whose dimensions make them impossible to use in
the future.
