workflow when nesting
Posted: Thu Nov 24, 2016 9:18 am
Hello!
I'm a fond user of sheetcam, first with a 130x130 cm machine, then a 260x130 machine and now a 12 tool atc 400x200 machine.
With the new machine we can process big slabs of wood.
I've got a project to cut 260 pieces (10 different shapes) out of 1 piece of oak.
I nest everything in sheetcam and then I change the cut order in the job options tab to my liking (well, to the liking of the vacuum bed). Selecting a part and placing it in the right order with manual optimization is quite tedious.
When I make an nest in autocad and import that I can very quickly select the workorder with the start points -> quick cut sequence. I can select the start point of the part and easily create a safe workflow to cut the entire slab.
Is it possible to nest in Sheetcam and still use the quick cut sequence? This would GREATLY improve my work speed.
Is this function not (yet available or am i missing something?
