How do I have the optimisation layouts treat the edging thickness as zero?

I would like to set the actual finished size of the panel on the printout.
Currently if I set the panel size to 1000mm x 1200mm and include 2mm edging, the printout shows 1096mm x 1196mm. The production system I am using trims 2mm off of the board when placing the edging.
So in order to prevent confusion in production, I would prefer to show the cut size as 1000mm x 1200mm with the dashed lines where edging goes, as some sides may also have different thickness edging.

How do I set this for the printout Job Layout?

  If I am understanding your query correctly, then the following should solve your problem:

  If you go to Manage -> Edging Materials.
  Then set the "Optimise Thickness" to 0mm, and the "Display Edging" to 0mm

  This would make the reports show a 2mm edging, but on the optimisation layouts, it would treat it as if the edging was 0mm.

  Brilliant! Thanks for that!
