| This is a quick example on how to use the box fill feature with the default data. This feature uses the primary package dimensions and fits them into the standard cases that have been edited previously. In this example, we will use the default cases in English units. Therefore, the first step is to open a new document window starting from Primary Package dimensions. |
 |
| The next step is to change the units to inches and pounds. Otherwise, we would need to add the height to the default standard cases with metric units (box fill will not work unless the standard cases have all three dimensions). |
 |
| Once that has been done, we will select the "Fill Standard Cases" item in the Standard Cases menu. This item will tell Quick Pallet Maker to place as many packages it can into the predetermined cases taking into account the maximum slack limitations to the right of the menu. |
 |
| The next step is to select "Recalculate" from the Tools menu. This will first calculate the box fill and then calculate the pallet arrangements for the predetermined boxes. The attached screenshot at right shows one of the solutions. Note that the default standard English unit cases fit better in the 48"x40" pallets than in the other default pallets. |
