Compact Arrangement
You can use the Compact Arrangement option when you want to move pieces that were nested in order to find a better place for them. This algorithm basically shakes the nested results and moves pieces where there is open area.
Note: This algorithm is automatically included in Nest Pro, so you do not need to access it manually if you have a Nest Pro license.
To use the Compact Arrangement option:
-
Open the Marker file.
-
Nest the pieces using manual nesting.
-
From the main menu, go to Nesting > Special Auto Nesting > Compact Arrangement.
Here you can see the pieces were rearranged a bit to make use of extra space:
