16. NESTING

The CNC control has a nesting function where parts can be automatically placed on
a sheet of material for cutting. This can be used with items within the Shape Library,
or with items that are programmed using the FastCAM programming system.

NOTE: It is important that all individual part programs used in the nesting

system return to the program zero point at the end of the program.
Failure to do this will result in unusable nests.

Use the following sequence to create nests:

1. From the HOME page, select F7 [NEST]

2. The following screen will appear. Press the F5 [MATL] key to adjust the size

of the plate.
