To position the selected part, use the manual direction keys. The view screen will be
outlined by a bold blue border indicating that the arrow keys are active. Pressing the
arrow keys will allow movement of the part to the desired location on the plate. Each
time the arrow keys are pressed, the selected part will move in the direction of the arrow
by the increment set by the Arrow Key distance soft key. By use of the arrow distance
key, arrow keys and zooming in the view field, exact placement of the desired part may
be obtained.
Additional parts may be added to the nest in the same fashion as described above. To
customize your nest, you may decide to delete parts or add parts to the list and change the
order in which they are cut by use of the soft keys displayed. When finished, press OK to
return to the Main Cut screen and begin cutting the nest. The part nest is currently saved
as a temporary file until another part is loaded.
Saving a Nest
From the Main Cut screen, press the Files soft key then Save to Disk. From here the part
can be saved to a hard disk folder on the CNC, Diskette or USB memory stick. The
nested parts file may be saved as a nest or a part. Saving as a nest using the save as
Nester File feature, will create a larger file which will allow future modification of the
nest through Nester. Nested parts saved as a part file cannot be modified.
