Automatic Plate Nest

Automatic plate nesting using the active nesting in the canvas and the parts in the active tab of the Part Selection. If the active nesting is partly nested the automatic plate nesting is then adding parts to the available free space in the nesting. When this function is activated, two graphs and an information pane is presented on the screen.

The left graph shows the nested mass, the percentage of parts in the active tab in the Part Selection that has been nested.

The right graph shows scrap percentage on the active nesting.

The information pane shows information about the current automatic nesting. When the result is accepted click Enter to accept the result and the nested parts are presented in the drawing. Esc will cancel the operation.

Automatic nesting is controlled by settings managed by the function Automatic Nesting on the Manage tab of the ribbon.

The function to automatically nest all parts on many different raw plates is handled in the function Automatic Nesting activated directly from the parts menu.
