Nesting settings

Nesting settings

You can get this dialog box pressing the 'Nesting settings' button located in Advanced cutting  dialog

Nesting is a process involving optimization of the placement of parts, to minimize the wasted material.

Here is the picture of the window:

Here is a description of the items included in this dialog:

• Placement precision - you can select the precision you want to get. A greater precision will waste less material, but the computation will take a longer time
• Parts disposing - you can select where the first parts will be placed, along one of the 4 sides of the material
• Enable to rotate parts of 90°, 180° or 270° to improve the nesting - if checked some parts can be rotated to minimize the wasted material, but the computation will take a longer time
