One drawing, start to finish
A drawing with the usual mistakes, taken through every stage by the CutMeter engine. Every number here was computed when this page was built.
PLATE-07.DXF, as it came from CAD: 12 entities. One corner stops 0.05 mm short, the bottom edge is drawn twice, the arch is a spline, and a centre mark left a 0.3 mm dot.
630.91 mm of cut and 5 pierces. The arch is measured along the curve, the doubled edge is counted once.
4 problems, each numbered on the drawing. The outline is open, so the plate's area cannot be counted: 805 mm² instead of 11,126 mm².
Auto-fix closes the corner, removes the second edge and writes the spline as arcs: 5 closed contours, 630.93 mm of cut. The dot stays flagged, a person decides.
50 parts priced from the shop's own rates, €1.20 per metre and €0.10 per pierce: €100.79 excluding VAT. Example rates, not market prices.
The shop confirms the price and the date, then cuts from the checked file.
Every contour on the drawing is linked to its row in the table. What you see is what the machine will cut.
Exact cut length - in total, by layer and by object type - plus pierces, contours, net area and weight.
Find gaps, duplicates, tiny segments and open contours before the file goes to the laser, plasma or waterjet.
Price the job from your own rate card: per metre and pierce, per minute or per part.
Both sides work on the same measured file. The customer sees the problems before sending, the shop receives drawings that are ready to cut. The price the shop confirms is the one that counts.

Laser shops price parts by cut length and pierce count, and these come straight from the DXF the customer sends. If the software reads the file wrongly, the quote is wrong too, and nobody notices until the machine cuts.
