Quote & Cut can generate files from the nesting result and attach them to the WooCommerce order.
These files help your team review and process the job after the customer checks out.
You can find these settings from:
Quote & Cut → Settings → Generated Order Files
Important behaviour #
Generated order files are created from a single nesting run when the customer calculates the price.
Enabling more output files does not create extra customer quote requests.
Available generated files #
Quote & Cut can generate the following order files.
Nesting result JSON #
This attaches the raw nesting result JSON to the order.
Use this if you want the full quote and nesting data preserved for review or support.
This is enabled by default.
Standard nested DXF #
This creates a single layered nested layout intended for direct cutting or previewing.
This is enabled by default.
Editable nested DXF #
This places each part instance on its own layer so operators can rearrange parts in CAM software.
Use this if your team often edits nests before production.
Editable nested DXF per sheet #
This generates one editable DXF for each sheet in the nest.
Use this if your production workflow prefers separate files per sheet.
Inner/Outer layered DXF #
This separates internal and external contours onto different layers.
Use this if your CAM setup benefits from separate inner and outer contour operations.
Inner/Outer layered DXF per sheet #
This generates one inner/outer layered DXF for each sheet in the nest.
Use this if you want sheet-level production files with contour layers separated.
Inner/Outer layered DXF per part #
This separates each placed part instance into its own inner and outer contour layers.
Use this if your workflow requires part-level contour separation.
Inner/Outer layered DXF per part per sheet #
This generates per-part inner/outer layered DXF files for each sheet in the nest.
Use this for the most detailed file output, where each part and sheet needs to be separated.
Recommended starting setup #
For most new users, start with:
- Nesting result JSON.
- Standard nested DXF.
Then enable the more detailed DXF outputs only if your production team needs them.
Where to find generated files #
After a customer places an order, open the WooCommerce order in the WordPress admin area.
Quote & Cut order data and files are shown in the order details area.
The exact files shown depend on which generated order file options are enabled.
If generated files are missing #
Check the following:
- The relevant generated file type is enabled.
- The customer successfully calculated a price before checkout.
- The job was added to the cart from the Quote & Cut form.
- The WooCommerce order contains Quote & Cut parts.
- File storage permissions are working on the website.
- The DXF file could be processed successfully.
