To create a remnant and add it to inventory:
-
Click New Part
on the main menu.
The software opens a new Parts work area
-
Draw and profile the remnant using tools in the work area. For information on drawing tools, see Sketch Tools Overview. For information on profiling, see Profiler.

Click Save > Save As Remnant as shown below.
The Save as Remnant dialog box displays.
-
Click End Edit
to confirm the save.
The Add Remnant dialog box displays.

Enter the thickness, quality, and article number (1 in the figure below) in the Add Remnant dialog box. These values are mandatory.
The software does not save the remnant to the database if any of the required values
are missing.

(Optional) Change the count of remnants (2 in the figure above). The default count is 1. You can also enter a charge number (3 in the figure above).
