To estimate material usage and costs of nested sheet metal parts, you can:
- Choose the sheet size
- Estimate the number of parts that can fit on a sheet
- Determine the number of sheets necessary
You can also preview the nested parts with or without offsets along the X and Y dimensions. Previously, you had to select materials that were estimated per pound.
Types of offsets include:
- Bounding Box offset: You can apply offsets to all sides on the exterior of the bounding boxes in a sheet.
- Sheet Border offset: You can define the sheet border offset for the X axis to the bottom and the Y axis to the left of the sheet.
