<p>The invention concerns a method for arranging of components on a sheet. For example, the arranging of rectangular pages onto a press sheet so that they can be printed onto the press sheet. The invention also concerns a computer program and system for arranging components on a sheet. The invention involves entering specifications of each type of component, including dimensions and quantity. Entering specifications of the sheet, including dimensions. Calculating a whole number ratio of components that is proportional to the quantity requirement of the components and multiplying it by the largest factor that results in the calculated total area of the components in the ratio not exceeding the calculated area of the sheet. Setting testing rules, including a preferred position rule, preferred cut orientation rule and a preferred sheet resulting from a cut rule. And, testing the ratio by attempting to arrange components as required by the ratio on the sheet by applying the testing rules.</p> |
