Gary,
I have never used "cut-list plus" but from doing some research, the software will import excel files. How it imports them is another matter. We do not support this software. My advice would be to download the free trial and see if it does what you need it to do.

Todd,

I do have cut-list plus and it is very dependable the problem is I don't have Excell. Someone told me about Open Office that is the same kind of program and it is free but I don,t know how you would stop information from going to Excell and go to Open Office.

Gary,

I guess I don't understand. eCabinets will give you a cut list, bill of materials optimized sheet stock a layout and write the proposal (although I am complaining about the proposal writer at this point). Why bring another software into the mix?

It was just because I was having problems with e Cab proposal and the cut list not picking things up,( this was before the problem I had wrote you about this morning,) and I was just wondering so I could use it as a 2nd oppion.

Gary,

I see what you are getting at.
I haven't used open office but I think it will open excel files.
