I'm looking for a utility that will calculate the most efficient cutting of
plywood sheets. I'd like to input the sizes of pieces to be cut and have it
show the best layout to minimize waste. Any help will be appreciated.

If you can't find anything, there are programs that do this for
photographs. You may have to put the sizes in as inches instead of
feet, but the geometry won't change.
 
wow... and when I saw that question I was thinking, who would know of such a
program.. LOL

I'll claim a bit of credit - I did know/remember there were apps to be
found. :)

You must be very young! Women can multi-task but we guys are only
single taskers, and that can be spotty at times. <vbg>
