The first job i went to load will not nest, an error -Rnest appears and then the progam just freezes and the whole process just stops i have tried nesting just a couple of parts and different job files, I did resart the computer but that was know real help. If anyone knows what is happining i would love too know about it.

Thom/Tim,
I sent Thom the link for 5.41 because we were having issues with 5.42. We released 5.43 late Friday to fix the issues. As for today, I receieved an email from you Thom, telling me that you were having problems with 5.43. Here is a portion of the email...

When nesting a job. I got the following message (in blue box) RNestwithPF (then red circle X thing) Not a valid Password.

I told Thom to run the 5.43 update again and see if that fixes his issue.

To put my 2 cents in this conversation.

I upgraded as well. Got the message, ignored it. I believe I restarted the computer. Nesting seems to be working just fine now.

One big issue though that I found right away is that it's not adding sheets properly if you manually input dimensions. It messes-up size and material type. You might want to test that part of the nesting.

I like the fact that you have added nesting option on the corner of the off-cuts. I always wanted to reference the bottom left corner.

I will keep using 5.41 on the old machine though, at least until you come out with the 5.44.
