Re: Nesting

While in Nesting, I select the part and use "<" and ">" to rotate, and use the cursor arrow keys to move a part on the table and then at the bottom of the SheetCam window should be checkboxes for mirroring X and Y. The original part needs to be selected to mirror, but seems to affect all duplicates. I don't think you can mirror a duplicate individually.

You are correct Paul, you cannot mirror a duplicate. You need to make a copy then mirror that. The reason for this is because duplicates are a direct step-and-repeat of the original part. If a duplicate was mirrored it's cut directions would all reverse.

Thanks Les. That's what I was seeing here, but didn't know if I was missing something.
