Stuck on scrap part recovery

Post by Joe Soto »

Control Nesting v5.88 If I load a .twd or .dxf and check the scrap part recovery box then nest everything is fine. Go back to load screen box is unchecked but it still nest the parts separately. Also if I add another .twd it only nest the first one loaded. Turning off the parts on the first and nesting gives the no record error.
Clear all and reloading or load button corrects everything .

Hi Joe. We'll fix the Scrap Part Recovery confusion. If you would have clicked OK on the Load screen it would have disabled the Scrap Part Recovery option.

I was not able to reproduce the add issue you mentioned. Here are the steps I tried.

1. Load a twd and select Scrap Part Recovery
2. Click OK then Nest
3. Return to Load screen and add another twd
4. Click OK then Nest
5. Return to Load screen and uncheck first twd
6. Click OK then Nest

This worked as expected. Is there a step I am missing?

Thanks Larry I cant reproduce the add issue today either but did several times Friday. Reloading the software today may have corrected it.
Clicking the OK is how I am leaving the Load screen, still keeps scrap part recovery on unless I clear all.
