Personally, I wouldn't bother. There are only 2 sizes per piece, and then you have to decide whether to cut cross grain or long grain, a simple piece of paper and a pencil is all you need. Less time in front of the PC, more time in the workshop.

I obviously misunderstand what you are saying. A cutting sheet for me contains the two dimensional sizes needed for the panels you need to cut. When it comes to forms and shapes that are not square or rectangle, then saw and router jigs are needed. None of which you can make on a PC. I guess I'm old school when it comes to making cabs, and having made thousands over the years, without the aid of a PC, I could be accused of being stuck in my ways. However, with all the new tech. approaches that abound us today, in spite of computers, and what you can do with them, I don't see much improvement in build quality or technique. This is probably why I react when I see PC's connected with cutting sheets and cabs.

Hehe. Except figuring out where all the pieces will fit on a sheet of ply wood, everything is still pretty low tech ;)
I`m on a tight budget and can`t afford to waste any wood.
