Having not used this option much, I've recently noticed some things about this function.

The Nest to edge option appears to nest ONLY to the edge indicated by the nest direction, and NOT to both axis pop-up pins on our machine. It's possible that the pin index coordinates are off, but I have ZERO ...

Lol, I'm getting very good at his "operator error" thing.

I'm still getting used to the overrides in the last CN release, but those are a godsend, Keep up the good work

File Sent. Thanks for checking into it.

Anyone else seeing this:

Take an eCabS job to CN. Sort for one material only. Add a piece of off-fall material manually. Nest true shape x or y and it pops errors "unable to nest..." as if the added off-fall is the only sheet available, even though the material catalog contains viable standard ...

Clint, Good to know. Most of the parts in question are DXF's so I'll see if the CN options added recently will help me get this procedure sorted. Thanks for reminding me about those, I have barely used them!

I often need to tweak the area settings for leave skin/tabs/cut through to avoid post processing an entire sheet of curved long narrow parts. It's a guessing game with parts that have irregular shapes. I'd like to see, when in the nesting diagram, which parts cut through, which parts are tabbed ...

Jeremy,

I can clearly see tabs where they are placed on each piece. I cannot see if a tabbed part will be left with a skin when it falls within the "leave skin on parts with <N sq inch of area. I often nest parts that, because of their size and irregular shape, need tabs. I don't want to have these ...

Must be that no one else has this problem....

Maybe I have some bum settings, but I often cannot differentiate a part that has been tabbed and meets the skin parameters from one that is tabbed, and does not. That is, when parts are shown as tabbed on screen, a part that will "leave skin" looks no different from a part that is also tabbed, but ...

Thanks, Forrest

Also VERY interested in this. We have recently begun integrating CV, and It's been a serious learning curve. I've taken eCabS for granted! TIA

That is great news. Our construction methods will soon change since we have pickup a glue line for panel goods, so I presume I'll be cutting more HPL panels. I can't wait to try this feature out when it becomes available. to the engineers

Has there been any movement on this? :shock: 8)

I can see where this would certainly be worth using for HPL. I like the idea of using it during the roughing cut, and turning it off for the final pass. This would enable the outline bit to cut WAY longer, and the rougher would be saved some wear and ...

At the bottom choose the button for Change high DPI settings. At the bottom check the box for Override high DPI scaling behavior, and change the ...

I'd like to see how other people are able to get certain parts manipulated, while maintaining parametric constraints. That is, when trying to get an acutely angled corner cabinet designed, how to get the partitions and fixed shelves to play nicely, setting consistent door gaps, etc. I'd also be ...

"Interesting idea. When?"

Same.
