new location LB-Arrange-Quick Nest. Gave it a a try and heres what I got. On the right is my original manual nest. On the left is how LB distributed the parts in the same space. It used 2 frames. Pretty much unless. Hope they can improve it. Rick
LOL no matter what I’ve tried LB wants to place the circles linear. I even selected my own 600X300 grouping and nested in the same. It split it up. You see I even tried rotating my target. We live to fight another day.
It’s a quick nesting feature. It’s not meant to be perfect and will most likely never reach the manual arrangement. Nesting takes a lot of computing power and many iterations to find the optimal placement, but that’s not done here, intentionally. You only have the options:
quick - non-optimal
slow - optimal
We have a proper, true nesting feature coming in the next update, but as Parsec says, this one is “quick & dirty”, meant to be extremely fast, and usable for most things. Circles are one of it’s worst cases, because it basically puts a rectangle around everything and nests that. Circles don’t box well.
The upcoming nesting feature in Pro is going to be what you’re looking for.
