Having looked at posts from a few years ago on this and other sites, it seems that “Cut List Plus” is favored by most woodworkers. The last good discussion I saw was over 2 years old. What are your thoughts? Still Cut List Plus or has some other program replaced it? Don’t want to spend a ton, but CLP at $89 seems worth it if it saves me buying a $130 sheet of A-1 cherry…
Thanks,
Steve

SketchUp?
If you are using Google SketchUp for design, you might post your question in that section of the forum here. I believe there is a plug-in that does a cutlist from your SketchUp file.
there is a plugin
There is a plugin cutlist 4.1 . It does most of what cutlist did (the important parts anyway IMO) but not nearly as sofisticated. It gives me the BF LF and dimensions. ITs free a tradoff i can live with. I love it.
Still a cutlist user
I still use cutlist. The added features, such as remembering what offcuts you have, and the ability to specify grain orientation are two of the features I really like.
can u share features
Hey, I've been on the fence for a while you have the full cutlist, which version ($89, or $249). Could you specify a bit more on the grain oreientation? you piqued my interest again. I like some of the features like banding and the costing part but to get that I think you need to step up to the $250 version. The free plugin is really basic. I don't eve use the layout part just the generator of materials.
