[solved] Nesting issues

Post by pantau » Mon Feb 05, 2024 8:20 pm

I have upgraded from pro to cam to use the nesting function. However, it does not work as expected. If I set rotations to 4, all parts are nested. However, as soon as I set rotations to 1 as required, only one part is inserted. What am I doing wrong?

Can you please try with the following default preferences:

Weighing of primary alignment (Gewichtung der Primärausrichtung): 2.0
Hull resolution for blocks (Hüllenauflösung für Blöcke): 20

OK, thanks.

Can you try enabling another default: Place small parts into holes of other parts (Kleinteile in den Aussparungen anderer Teile anordnen)

QCAD/CAM 3.29.4 is now available which should fix this issue.
