Step 6: After parts have been entered into the Orders Database they are now ready to<br />

be nested. Sort parts by <strong>machine</strong> name by clicking Machine in Sort by. Select all<br />

parts to be nested (parts input from step above) by clicking on the <strong>machine</strong> name<br />

within the grid (white area). Once parts are selected click Nesting [x]…<br />

Step 7: Once the parts are nested from the Orders Database the system will start<br />

nesting from the run name that you entered within the Options menu. If the run<br />

number has already been used the system will ask if it is okay to overwrite the<br />

existing folder, click OK to overwrite or Cancel to continue to next number. Note-<br />

run folders created before NC Express was currently opened will be asked if it is okay<br />

to overwrite, and run folders created while NC Express is currently opened will<br />

automatically be skipped.<br />

Once the run folder(s) is created the nest dialog will appear. The dialog is set the<br />

same way as normal nesting.<br />

Set the settings to nest parts as normal. All parts will be scheduled. Modify the sheet<br />

size and click OK.<br />

Step 8: Once parts have been nested they will need to be optimized and post<br />

processed. The nested sheets can either be batch processed or optimized and post<br />

processed one by one.<br />

Before optimizing go to Process menu | Retool nest and select Automatic. Enable<br />

Double hit removal and <strong>Punch</strong> Common line to remove undesired extra hits within<br />

the nest.<br />
