Visual Tutorial: Sheet optimization using the sheet wizard
The sheet wizard is a tool that carries out a
cost-benefit analysis of each sheet format you choose for a layout and
the number of pieces you want to produce. It shows the number of sheets
that will be needed, the layout 1ups per sheet, the total output, the
waste area, and the waste area percentage for each sheet format.
In this video we set the sheet size and
margins.
