Nesting 

Nesting allows you to nest the parts on different sheet sizes and evaluate the material requited to manufacture the parts.
If the part fit on a portion of the sheet, you can crop the sheet and charge for only the portion of the sheet that is used.

Keep Remnant Default


When unchecked the nested sheets will not be cropped, and when check nested sheets will be cropped if the Horizontal and/or Vertical Percentage rules apply.


Keep Remnant Percentage (Vertical)

Sets the default rule for adding a vertical crop line for a nested sheet. If the vertical percentage of the remnant is more than this value, a vertical crop line will be applied to the sheet.


Keep Remnant Percentage (Horizontal)

Sets the default rule for adding a horizontal crop line for a nested sheet. If the horizontal percentage of the remnant is more than this value, a horizontal crop line will be applied to the sheet.


Note: if both the vertical and horizontal rules are valid, a L-Crop will be applied.
