It would be nice if in control nesting we could mouse over/click on the parts in the nest and get a name and dimension instead of having to write to cnc and look at the nest diagrams.

It would also be nice to have the the sheet dimensions on the bottom like how the sheet thickness is displayed.

Tom,

I'll add your requests to the wishlist.

I second this !! Everyday I run into trying to find a problem part and it is annoying to have to write just for identifying a part.

This was added with version 7.13 on 12/9/2024. It comes up when you hover over a part. You can control how quickly the pop up comes up from the Screen Properties. If off fall is oddly shaped it gives you the overall boundary size of the off fall. The pop up has a fair amount of information in it, including the Override Parameters (Nesting Parameters in eCabinets).

The sheet dimensions are not shown, but are available under Edit, then Material.
