Panel Nesting
Posted: Wed Sep 04, 2024 3:55 pm
Our company produces case goods (panels and boxes)
Our assemblies are configured with multiple sizes. The parts contain multiple configurations.
Our CNC programmers are looking into programs that will nest the panels for our saw.
The program they are looking at does not like multiple configurations.
I created a file for them by opening an ASSEMBLY and doing a <Save As> <part file>.
This file is a single configuration and only contains bodies of that specific configuration.
This works really well for them.
Does anyone have a macro which would take an assembly file and export all the configurations out as induvial part files for all configurations?
-OR-
Does anyone know of a nesting program that I should be looking into?
*** I will also post this to the Macro forum ****
