Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Vector, poor mans nesting

I think it is along the lines of "array", where it just sets entities next to
each other at user specified increments. True nesting can flip flop parts all
different directions in order to get the most out of materials. Many software
companies will demonstrate this by laying out letters (A,B,C,D, j, k etc) on
a sheet where all the corners are jammed together as best possible.

Thats what i see anyhow.... better than nothing !
