"Product Part" Step in the Workflow Bar

When you select the "Ganging Optimization" work mode, the "Optimization" and "Results" steps dis­play in the workflow bar and options for the kind of sheet optimization appear:

Sheet Optimization without Layout Default

This sheet optimization is the "default" and is shown in the Ganging Optimization with Sheet Optimization without Layout Default video tutorial. You will find a description of an example in Example for a Gang Job with "Sheet Optimization without Layout Default"
