Homag woodWOP MPR files from a cut list

woodWOP programs are usually drawn one part at a time. Cutspan writes the MPR from the cut list: the part, its drilling and routing, and — for nested work — every part in its place on the sheet.

Try it: build an MPR file

A cabinet side with shelf-pin rows, or a door with hinges. See the program and download it.

From cut list to MPR

1

Enter the parts

From the table, a CSV, a photo, or an existing MPR read back in.

2

Add machining

Face drilling, 32 mm rows, hinge cups, grooves, pockets and edge holes.

3

Match your machine

Your tool library and zero corner under Machine settings.

4

Export

One MPR per part or per nested sheet, many sheets in one ZIP.

The MPR writer was modelled on real workshop files. Dowel and connector holes drilled into the edge of a part are written only to MPR; BPP has no equivalent line to copy.

Old programs and other formats

Existing MPR files can be opened in Cutspan to bring a part and its machining back into a job — useful for re-nesting parts drawn years ago or checking a program against a new drawing. Anything the reader cannot carry over is listed rather than dropped silently.

If your machine is driven through other CAM software, choose a DXF format instead: the part geometry arrives on layers ready to be programmed there. See machine files for which machine gets which file.

Questions

Can I read existing MPR files?

Yes. Open an MPR to bring the part and its machining back into a job; what cannot be carried over is listed.

Which woodWOP version?

Configurations differ between machines. Check a sample file in your own woodWOP before production.

Can I get DXF instead?

Yes. Choose a DXF format under Machine / export format.
