Nesting with cloud version and/or command line

Do you have a question you want to ask an existing QCAD user about QCAD and what you can do with it? Do you want to know if a particular feature exists? This is the place to ask.

Nesting with cloud version and/or command line

Post by chrispedersen » Mon May 24, 2021 3:45 pm

First: Thanks to Husky for a fast, exactly what I needed answer to my previous question. I'd like to suggest you add his post to the official tutorial.
And I want to say thank you for Andrew - because I gather you've written this? Which is amazing.




Can nesting be accomplished in the webserver version or in the regular Pro/CAM version via commandline or script?

The nesting is brilliant, but I'd hope to not use the mouse and command line at all.

Something like "nest sheet1.dwg, 8, part1.dwg, 3, part2.dwg, 4 part3.dwg,4" >> Sheet1.dwg, sheet2.dwg, sheet3.dwg

Brilliant. I'll test it out today.
Funny thing was I looked over the list of commandline tools and missed it. One more question. I"ll make a new topic....
