Automatically Applied Technologies When Nesting
Now we are finished with the technologies for getting better results on a single part. Next, we will talk about
some technologies useful for a group of parts.
Most of these technologies are applicable in the drawing window when nesting and constructing, and are
disabled for every single part in the part library. In general, we do not recommend setting these technologies
by hand because they will be applied automatically when nesting, in a more smart way.
Group
A part will always be managed as a group after nesting because the software thinks that the contours of a part
are logically related and should not be apart. All the contours of a group will be selected at the same time;
only the outmost contour will account for the processing sequence; and a group will be machined as a whole
without break.
The picture on the left shows a part imported into the drawing window, you can select the outer contour
separately, and every contour has its own processing order. The picture on the right shows the part added to
the part library, it is still not a group because every contour can be set with different technologies.
The software will manage all the contours of a part as a group when nesting. Then you can not select just one
of the contours separately, and only the processing order of the whole part will be shown there.
