Nesting Plugin not working

[David_Lelen01]

Les! Help! I knew a button was missing when I updated the other day, but couldn't figure out what it was! My nesting plugin is gone! Do i need to reinstall the plugin or is there a bug? I think the plugin had a few bugs anyway we talked about a while back... Looks like the link on sheetcam website to the plugin dpwnload isnt working.

If it matters, i had to manually update to 7.1.21. The auto-updater didnt find the update.

Ah, a lot has changed recently. I'll need to update the plugin.

[Les Newell]

The new update should be up now.

Awesome, thank you Les!! Thanks for fixing the inch metric stuff too. The only difference i am seeing in the interfaces now is the plugin just has rotation that can be any degree, myNesting has rotation of 0,90,180,ANY and then a tilt angle that can be any value. see screenshot.

I think Nestfab allows all angles. The plugin works with both MyNesting and Nestfab.
What does tilt do?

[David_Lelen01]

My understanding is that the angle is a preset dropdown select rotation amount of 0=no rotation, 180=2 rotations, 90=4 rotations, and ANY=any degree. And then the tilt is an additional allowed rotation to the preset amount so like Rotation=90 and tilt=15 means the part could be rotated to any quadrant +/-15degrees. I have no earthly idea why you would want to do that... maybe its less computationally expensive, idk. I always find myself using 0,90, or any and never use the tilt box. I do know if I type 60 in the plugin rotation box, it defaults to 0 or ANY in nestfab, I don't remember which right now. That's the only reason I said something.

[Les Newell]

The xml spec for MyNesting/Nestfab just has an angle attribute. It doesn't actually specify any specific angles that can be used. I'll need to look through the docs to see if I can find how 'any' should be specified.

Les!!! HELP!!! The nesting plugin is gone after the recent update. Does it need an update to work with the recent SheetCAM update?

[Les Newell]

Sorry about that. An update should be up by now.

[David_Lelen01]

Hey Les... looks like the nesting plugin is broke again....

[Les Newell]

I didn't think I changed enough to break the plugin. I'll upload an update in the next few minutes.
