Nest compilation drawing
With the function Nest compilation drawing, the processing of all parts is generated from a compilation drawing. From this, a completely programmed sheet with the individual parts on it is generated.
The parts in the compilation drawing must not touch or overlap one another and there must be a rectangle completely surrounding them. The rectangle becomes a sheet.
Then, the material, the machine and a part loop are selected for machining. The result is a nesting with the programmed parts. The nesting can be restarted at any time using the Geometry nesting or Rectangle nesting functions.
Creating a sheet from a compilation drawing
- You have opened a CAD model that contains several part drawings that are surrounded by a rectangle.

- A dialogue box for assigning a file name opens.
- Assign a file name for the sheet and click OK.
- The Select archive dialogue box opens. See also Dialogue box with tables.
- Select the archive in which you want to save the sheet and click OK.
- Depending on the possibilities of the selected machine, you will be guided through further dialogue boxes in which you can make settings for the machine and the processing.
- The sheet with the individual parts on it is generated.
NOTICE
The resulting sheet can then be recalculated using the Geometry nesting and Rectangle nesting functions.
