Hi,
I am quite new to OpenCutList but I think I have picked it up quite well. I love the features that it has and the ability to produce such quick and efficient cutting lists and diagrams.
I see that you can print the cutting diagrams, labels or export them as a PDF. Is there a way to export them in other file formats?
I may not have to use this depending on the contractor I am working with but it is useful to know if this is an option.
Thanks in advance
Hi @ChloeW,
First, thank you to appreciate OpenCutList !
Is there a way to export them in other file formats?
You can export cut lists to CSV file format by clicking on the Export button.
But, sorry there’s no feature to export cutting diagrams for the moment except by printing them through PDF printer.
But this will be the goal of the next 4.0 release. It will propose to export diagrams to SVG file format.
(3.0, with will be released soon but with various other improvements)
OpenCutList is crowdfunded and as the other main features, the 4.0 financial goal must be reach before the development can starts.
Have a nice day !

Hi there!
I’m using OCL for its amazing features—first of all, incredible work! I will be glad to donate as soon as I can (I just started a job where I can use OCL to speed up my workflow).
I wanted to ask if you are planning to add the option to calculate how many full sheets need to be purchased to optimize the cuts in OCL.
Additionally, in many places, lumber is sold in specific dimensions (e.g., 4" x 1" x 8ft), so it would be really interesting to see a breakdown for solid wood as well. This would be especially useful for knowing how many boards to buy.
It would also be great if all this data could be exported along with the OCL report to Excel and PDF.
Thanks for your time, and keep up the great work!
@ChloeW, just to complete my old answer. OpenCutList can now be able to export Cutting Diagram to SVG or DXF. More infos here.
Hello @ferherrera,
Thank you!
This kind of data is already displayed in individual cutting diagram or in Estimate.
I understand the need. This type of wood is quite specific to the US. And I don’t know what the best way to handle it would be.
The “Solid Wood” material type in OCL corresponds to the European use of raw wood sold in boards with bark of fixed thickness but variable length and width.
You can export whole parts list to CSV, so you can open it in Excel. And all other table can be exported to PDF just by using the print command and choose a PDF printer.
Have a nice day.
