Hi all
I hope you are well.
Is it possible for Estlite to calculate the length of moulding required for a frame? I currently work it out separately.
I see a highlight "Get moulding length" but cannot figure out how to utilise it. Or even if it does what I'm hoping it does.
Best wishes
David

Hopefully this link works but if not then search for “off cuts formula” and you should be able to find a file to download that does what you want.

Re: Moulding Lengths
The calculation for this figure takes into consideration the moulding width and applies the current waste factor.
Highlights in EstLite are entirely user defined. As an example, you could set one highlight to mean - get a quantity of moulding in order to complete the job. Then when it comes time to place an order with your supplier, jobs requiring a purchase are easily spotted in your database by their highlight colour.
