5.6 PRESHEARED PLATE NESTING NC Express allows the user to nest a part onto a plate, which shares many of the same dimensions. For nesting Preshear, a part is tooled through Autotool (see Preshear Autotool) and then ready for optimization directly after. When programming presheared parts through NC Express there is no nesting involved the part goes directly to presheared optimization (See Presheared Optimization). 5.7 INTERACTIVE NESTING After nesting process is completed, the first of the nested plates is displayed on the screen and is immediately available for interactive editing. Selected parts can be moved around, deleted or copied. If more then one nested plate was created, parts can be copied and pasted between plates. New parts can be added to the nest via the File menu | select Add Part menu selection. The full list of nested plates is displayed in the Nest Explorer dialog. At the end of interactive editing, user will save the modified nest by going to File menu | select Save. At this point the system will check the nest for part and plate boundary violations and if necessary issues a warning. After a modified plate is saved, the system automatically updates the nest report. Interactive Nesting features: Drag and drop parts within plate Copy parts from plate to plate or within plate Move selected by giving the X an Y values Add tooled parts from Part directory 5.7.1 Drag and Drop Parts Parts can simply be selected in nesting screen and moved around the plate according to users needs. Parts will only be able to be moved within parameters set for plate margins and clamp settings. If moved in illegal area an error will occur. Save after moving parts. Parts cannot be rotated manually in the nest because tooling may not be able to be used in that orientation. 5.7.2 Copy Parts When viewing a nest of parts, parts can be copied either within a nest or from plate to plate. There are two ways to copy parts within the plate. First, is to select and copy and the second is to use the Move Selected feature. To copy a part within a plate select the part to be copied, hold down control (ctrl) key, and drag part to desired location. Save after copying. To copy to another plate highlight part to be copied, select copy from either toolbar or edit menu, open destination plate by double clicking in Nest Explorer. To paste part, select paste and click in plate desired location. Once part has been pasted in nest it may be moved to fit where needed. Save after copying. Note- Using shift + ctl key at the same time when copying a part will allow the part to be moved only in horizontal or vertical movement (0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°) 92
5.7.2.1 Move Selected Move selected allows parts to be moved using an exact value, either absolute or relative value. When copying parts Keep selection must be enabled to actually copy the part. Click Specify to enter an X and Y value. Once the X or Y value are entered, depending on which way the part will be moved, click Move to move part. Save after moving part. 5.7.3 Add Part Add part gives ability to add part manually to an existing nest. Open plate in which a part will be added, go to File menu | select Add Part, and then select tooled part from Partdir. When part is added to nest it is added outside the bottom left corner of the plate. Part can be moved to desired location, then copied however many times needed. Save nest after adding part. 93
