Product Library in PLUS 2D

What is a product library?

Some assembled products comprise of a set of constituent parts that can be cut from one or more stocks. Thus if the user can feed the total units of that product required PLUS 2D can automatically calculate the total number of constituent parts needed. Example: consider a product like the computer table comprising of the following constituent parts
Name Length Width Thickness Material Qty
Monitor-shelf 25 10 1 MDF 1
paper-shelf 25 15 1 MDF 1
Side-board 35 15 2 MDF 2
Keyboard-rest 23 10 1 MDF 1
Bottom shelf 5 13 1 MDF 2
Bottom doors 12 6 1 MDF 2
Back 25 25 1 MDF 1
Bottom 26 15 2 MDF 1
 

If the user wants 50 such tables than the total parts required is  

Name Length Width Thickness Material Qty
Monitor-shelf 25 10 1 MDF 1*50=50
paper-shelf 25 15 1 MDF 1*50=50
Side-board 35 15 2 MDF 2*50=100
Keyboard-rest 23 10 1 MDF 1*50=50
Bottom shelf 5 13 1 MDF 2*50=100
Bottom doors 12 6 1 MDF 2*50=100
Back 25 25 1 MDF 1*50=50
Bottom 26 15 2 MDF 1*50=50

PLUS 2D allows the user to import such a part list from the product library by simply clicking on the import from product library button. The user than has to type the quantity of a given product that he wants to manufacture and PLUS 2D will automatically list all the constituent parts of the product with their individual quantities, directly in the part table of the job.
