    Hey Josh, wondering when u fill in the width of your boards if u enter the actual dimensions (3.5”) or the standard, listed dimensions (4”), if using a 1×4?

    Btw, nice recovery from the bug in your mouth. I would’ve needed to stop the camera lol!

    As an old timer I find cut list wasteful use of time. Just cut the biggest pieces first.

    Do you know how to import a .csv file into optimizer? Trying to input measurements from fusion 360 put doesn’t work on free version.
