Use of rectangular tube cutting

Use of rectangular tube cutting

I created a project using the creo framework module and now I need to create the optimization of cuts for rectangular tube profiles, for example:
I buy a 6m bar and I need to know the best way to use the pieces of everything to cut this bar 

Is there any way for me to create this with PTC technologies ?

Assuming that you want a model of each cut to length piece of a 6 M long profile, these pieces would be available in your AFX design. Using the cut list table should enable you to export the STEPs manually. I am not aware of a way to have Creo automatically export all of these parts to be cut from a length.

AFX will generate an optimized cut list, refer to link below.

@tbraxton thanks for the answer.

I know this table but it doesn't help me in this case

I need to send an optimized .stp file to the machine, my machine does not read the material list
