General suggestions
Cut1D X is a linear optimizer which takes as input multiple bars (also called Stock or Repository) and multiple pieces to be cut (also called Demand). At the output, the component will tell how and from which bar to optimally cut each piece.
The Cut1D X component is based on some complex optimization algorithms. Each algorithm will act in a specific case when the corresponding data have some particular features. In some case the algorithm will be fast and will provide the solution in less than 1 second. In other cases the algorithm will perform many iterations in order to obtain a good solution.
The user may extract the information about the optimization process during the OnFinish event.
The order in which the pieces are cut is very important in some particular cases (for instance when extremities of the pieces have angles different from 90 degrees). The order in which the pieces are cut is given by the method GetUtilizedDemandPiece. If all angles have 90 degrees the cutting order is not important.
