Nest Profiles without Rest

Description

It will now be possible to nest profile parts on raw profiles without creating rest profiles.

To accomplish this do the following two steps:

• Define a raw profile with type and dimensions the same as the profile part that should be nested. Define the length as zero.

• Insert the new keyword NEST_WITHOUT_REST=YES in the general section of the profile restriction file, as defined by SBH_PROF_RESTRICT.

Nesting will now be performed as if the length was the maximum length for the profile type. When nesting is completed the length will be set to the exact length needed, so that no rest part will be created.

Benefits

Flexibility.

Compatibility Constraints

None.
