The work area visual displays order items in the work area. Part geometries of order items in the work area visual are proportional to each other and to articles and remnants in the work area (see below). This makes it easier to select suitable parts when nesting interactively.
The available amount of parts in the order item displays in the upper left corner of each part geometry. The software updates this number each time you move a part geometry to a plate.
