When parameters are set click OK to nest parts.
The above nest has 16 parts nested using 59% of the 100”x50”
(2500mmx1250mm) sheet. Because the parts have no rotation set and
dimensions of part the sheet utilization will not be desirable.
Modifying Nest Rotations
Step 5: Activate Nest rotations to allow part rotation within the nest.
a. Open Nest dialog
b. Part List- Double click on AutotoolSA.cp, from Scheduled parts
list, to modify part nest settings.
c. Activate nest rotation- 0/180
d. Click OK and then OK again to nest parts
Once the parts are nested the quantity within the sheet as well as utilization %
should not change. The differences within the nest will that the part will be
rotated 180° versus 0°. Next change the rotation to 90/270.
a. Open Nest dialog
b. Modify AutotoolSA.cp from Part list.
c. De-activate- 0/180
d. Activate- 90/270
e. Click OK and then OK again to nest parts.
After activating the rotation of 90/270 and de-activating 0/180 the nest of
parts should be less than first nest. Changing the rotation to 90/270 only
allows parts to be nested at either 90° or 270° within the plate.
a. Open Nest dialog and Modify AutotoolSA.cp nest rotations
activating both rotations.
b. Click OK and then OK again to nest parts.
Once both nest rotations were set active the outcome of quantity of parts
within the plate will now increase as well as the utilization %. 18 parts
utilizing 67% of the sheet.
