before i start googling this topic, has anyone ever come across a program or application that prepares cutting diagrams? i'm thinking something that would receive the size of the pieces to be machined for a project and takes that info and creates a cutting diagram to optimize the yield from sheet goods and/or dimensional or rough stock. it's entirely possible nothing exists, just thought i'd ask. thanks.

+1 on cutlist. I have used it in the past and it has been very useful for looking at boards in multiple ways with the click of a button
I think in straight lines, but dream in curves

ditto on Cutlist plus. Stellar service years, several computers and several upgrades after my purchase. I think it was the best $50. I ever spent on wood working. Does layouts of both sheet goods and lumber. Part inputs is fairly intuitive and simple. Materials selecion and entering is the same.Donate to my Tour de Cure

I use the pencil and paper method. It seems that way all the finite details are obvious. I use numbers and letters that match each piece, to correspond with my drawings.
