Control nesting loaded material board sizing

Post by Mark McCallum »

A little quirk I have noticed on our machine and wonder if it happens to anyone else.
Load a job into control nesting.
Go okay to get to the nesting screen
Hit nest x or y.
The loaded material dialogue comes up where it is possible to change the sheet dimensions, as in the attached photo.
Change size and go OK to accept sizes
The nesting occurs, but the size change doesn't get applied.
Nest again without changing any sizes and the size gets applied.
You can easily overlook the size size change if its a small one but bigger variances are easy to spot.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Mark,

I see the same thing here. I'll pass the issue on to the software engineers.

Thanks Clint.
It would be a good one to get fixed. :D

It always happens on the first sheet of a nest.
The one with all the flip ops. :?
So you miss the first one, get a new sheet, apply size change, forget to do it twice to make it apply, cut, slap forehead and go duhhhh, I am so dumb, get another sheet, nest again, three sheets in at the start of the day and you are finally cutting. :joker:
