Mohan,

We've found an issue with Control Nesting 5.50 using the pocketing feature with your particular setup. We will get issue addressed as soon as possible and get fix in next update release. In order to cut this particular part, you can increase the Pocket Area (Through Cuts) to 8625 mm^2 and control nesting will then find the correct pocketing tool for operation. You can also setup tooling so that the specific pocket tool (T11) your wanting to cut pocket is only pocket tool in list.
