4.12.6 【F6】NEST
The Nest function allows a single part program to be nested using pattern nesting, (columns and rows).
A program must be loaded before using the Nest function. Press 【F6】to start a Nest. The Nesting
Dialog will appear, as shown below.
Figure 56: NEST Dialog
Enter the number of rows (number of rows one above the other) and the number of columns (number of
parts side-by-side from left-to-right). The default Row Height and Column Width are calculated based
on the size of the part, and can usually be accepted without change. Optionally, the Row-Offset may
be used for circular or other parts that fit better when every other row is offset to the right. When
finished entering these parameters, press 【ENTER】to generate the nest. The result will be displayed
graphically, as shown below.
