Calculate Pre-collated Stock as Sets not Sheets

Updated June 13, 2024

Select this option and the system will, as indicated, calculate paper stock as pre-collated sets not as sheets.  

This setting works in conjunction with several others including Parts to Print on the Layout tab and 2 settings (Precollated and Multiply by # of Parts) on the stock screen.

NOTE:

The setting Precollated can be defaulted on any Sheet Stock entered into Materials. However, the setting Multiply by # of Parts can only be set in an Estimate or Order.
