"One-window" fitting selection, workbench, and nesting

By using powerful Windows’ features, Fitting Layout makes it easy to select your fittings, input the dimensions, quantity and material type, and then see an actual 3D preview of the fitting and the flat layouts of the parts. One click of the auto-nest button nests the parts to optimize material usage and then you can view the nested plates as they will be cut. You can even modify the finished patterns for special applications by using Fitting Layout's powerful "Workbench" drawing tool. You can place holes, chop pieces, scale or stretch them, and even merge two patterns together.

Comprehensive library provides ultimate flexibility

The Fittings Layout's library includes 165 basic and complex fitting shapes including cones, offsets, elbows, wyes, branch fittings and square-to-rounds. Capabilities such as mitering, reducing, concentric/eccentric dimensioning are
available as well as selectable seam placement, selectable hole sizing, and inside/outside diameter material compensation.

Powerful machine tool configuration

ShopData's Tool Edit module manages all of your tools and post processors. Many process parameters like kerf, lead-in/lead-out, feedrate, etc. can be controlled, automated, and integrated directly with the CNC file — while still allowing "on-the-fly" attribute changes when desired.

Ultimate customization for labels & reports

Through the dynamic interactive capabilities of Microsoft Windows®, you can design your own ShopData reports & labels! By interfacing Microsoft Access® and Seagate Crystal Reports™ with ShopData for Windows, you have the tools you need to extract critical data for estimating, production, shipping, inventory management, purchasing and more.

Automatic Rectangular Nesting & Manual Nest

Fitting Layout's rectangle nesting automatically nests parts on multiple sheet sizes. Other nesting features include chain cutting, move & bump manual nesting with mouse-controlled part rotation, feature avoidance, and part tabs.

Fitting Layout's shape nest automatically lays parts side by side and rotates them to match interlocking angles and contours. Part "pairing" maximizes material usage through piece placement. Fitting Layout nests parts inside internal cutouts for the highest nesting precision. Other nesting features include chain cutting, move & bump manual nesting with mouse-controlled part rotation, feature avoidance, and part tabs.
