Exporting the cut list
Last updated: · By: the moducut team
Exporting the cut list means saving it as an Excel, CSV or XML file, or printing it and getting a PDF, so the list can go to a cutting service, a panel saw or your bookkeeping. All export buttons are in the Cut List window.
Short answer
Exporting to Excel
- Press Production › Cut to open the Cut List window.
- Choose the tab. From the List tab, the Excel file is a single-sheet cut list; from the other tabs, the file has three sheets: Cutting list, Assembly sheet and Quote.
- Press Export to Excel and choose where to save the file. The file name starts with the project name and ends with -kesim-listesi.xlsx.
Numbers are written as numbers in the Excel file, so you can sum and sort them in the workshop. Every saved file is reported at the bottom of the screen.
kitchen-kesim-listesi.xlsx
kitchen-kesim-listesi.csv
kitchen-teklif.csv
kitchen-yatay-delikler.zip
Getting a CSV
The CSV button at the top of the window saves the list as plain text. On the Quote tab, the same button saves the quote as a -teklif.csv file.
Exporting with a profile
The Export with Profile… list has three profiles:
- Generic CSV (;). Parts of the same size on one row, separated by semicolons.
- Panel saw CSV. Each part on its own row with a barcode.
- XML. Each part as its own element with a barcode.
If you chose a cut list profile for a panel saw in Production Line Setup, this list is also written to that machine’s folder automatically when you export G-code.
Printing and getting a PDF
Print prepares the cut list and assembly sheet as a printable page and opens the print dialog. For a PDF file, choose save as PDF in the print dialog. On the Labels tab, the button is called Print Labels and prints the part labels. The Door List and Hardware List windows have the same Print button.
Horizontal hole package
For parts with horizontal holes in their edges, the Horizontal holes button saves a single ZIP package: it contains a CIX program for each part and a hole list (CSV) for drilling by hand. When saved, the number of parts and horizontal holes is reported; if no part has edge holes, a "No part has edge holes" message appears.
Frequently asked questions
moducut gets PDFs through the print dialog: press Print and choose save as PDF in the print dialog. The PDF (Active Sheet) button in Nesting Results also makes a PDF of the selected sheet’s layout the same way.
If your machine’s software expects barcoded rows, use the Panel saw CSV profile; if it reads XML, use the XML profile. You choose the barcode layout on the Barcode and Output tab of Production Line Setup.
When you press Export to Excel, a save dialog opens; you choose the location and name of the file.
