Each waterjet run can do ~200pcs, so roughly 85 unique layouts..<BR /><BR />Anyone have any advice? A quick googling showed that Autocad can populate a text field from a spreadsheet, which would seem to mean I could split the spreadsheet up into groups of 85 entries, make a single autocad file, and it to a new spreadsheet for each layout.. Hmm.
