- Lantek Expert allows the definition of a name and a color for each one of the 12 available cutting qualities.

The names and colors assigned by configuration will be displayed while selecting, editing and cutting simulation.

- Lantek Expert calculates the nesting yield and the efficiency of the nested sheets, those sheets whose yield is not bigger than the minimum efficiency to be considered as good enough will be deleted and recalculated.
