Package Tab

After you Process an Order, you’ll be taken to the Package Tab. At this point in the process, all the patterns that need to be cut have been associated with the specified materials and are initially sorted by Material ID.

Order Details Panel

The Order Details panel shows you the results of sorting the patterns for each order. You can sort by clicking on a header.

You can see more information about each order by clicking on the order.

Patterns To Destinations

Initially, the patterns for each order are located in separate files. In most cases, you want to package all the patterns for each material into one PatternSmith file to make it easy to nest and cut them together. Workflow does this when you select a group of files and drag them together to a destination.

Moving Selected Orders

To move specific orders to a destination, select a group of orders by using the Shift-click or Ctrl-click and select the orders you want to package together.

Once you select what orders you want to move, you can either drag your selection to a destination cutter on the right side or select the destination and click the Move Selected to Current Destination button.

Moving All Orders

If you want to move all of the orders, select which destination you want them to move to, and click the Move All to Current Destination button.

Click on the destination cutter and you’ll see a list of all the orders and products with patterns in that file, along with the name of the file you just created.

Files assigned to a cutter no longer show in the Order Details pane. When that pane is empty, you know that all orders have been assigned to a cutter.

Opening Files In PatternSmith

To open the cut-ready file, you can either click the Open in PatternSmith button for the order file you want to cut on Workflow or directly open the file through PatternSmith.
