Calling all CNCZone'ers!

Perhaps try our MyNesting solution - free to download and use but you just pay a small fee ($5-$7.50) for the whole job if you want to export back out to dxf (i.e. doesn't matter how many sheets).

It's been some time since you posted this and we were discussing various features you wanted to see in our automatic nesting solutions. You were asking about whether we could bring the layers and...

There was a Burny 2.5 / 3 post processor posted on Sheetcam's Yahoo Group. Haven't tested it myself.

Here's the link: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/sheetcam/message/5293

I have also PM'ed...

I do know that the post-processor is customizable in SheetCam so, in the unlikely event that there isn't a Burny 3 post already, it should be fairly straightforward to modify an existing one to suit....

We recently launched a dxf automatic nesting program that may be useful to you. It works on a pay-per-export model (around $5 per nest job). The full software can be used free of charge (i.e. you...

MyNesting automatically nests up your parts and then provides the option to export the results to a dxf file. It doesn't get involved in toolpath processing or gcode generation itself so I guess it...

We've had a good beta test over the last few months and have received some really positive feedback from you! Thank you for all your help and continued support.

I can now say that the automatic...

Hi CNCZoners,

We want to announce that we are making adjustments to the MyNesting automatic nesting service and downloadable software in preparation for going live on 31st January 2010. You can...

I use PrimoPDF - works well and free. (http://www.primopdf.com)

Hi Gaz,

Firstly, congrats on your new machine! :cheers:

If you ever need to lay out more than a handful of letters, you could try using some nesting software to efficiently arrange the parts in...

Firstly, we have just released a new version of MyNesting that has many new features and improvements (inc. much better/quicker autonesting).
A large proportion of the modifications and new...

Hi All,

The new version is available now. Many thanks for everyone who gave suggestions on the boards and privately (you know who you are! :) ).

Would be interested to hear how you get on with...

We've finally added a demo video of our automatic nesting software to the website (as promised earlier in this thread). Check it out at: www.mynesting.com (video halfway down the page).

Also,...

I don't think that's possible. MS did away with the DOS OS layer when it got to XP. Now XP IS the OS.

Last advice is to see what can be done in the boot.ini but I don't think it can be scripted...

I'd suggest the same for now - switch your width and length dimensions for the sheet and then rotate the nest by 90 degrees after exporting (if required for the cutting table). Worth pointing out...

Hi tof1,

Thanks for posting. I am pleased that you like the general feel of the application but I'm surprised you didn't get any results within a few seconds ... let alone 10 minutes (especially...

Hi CNCZone,

Dan contacted me a few days ago and suggested that it would be good to introduce myself on the boards and answer any questions that the cnczone community might have about our new...

I think the only other way is to edit the autoexec.bat in the system root folder. This is a real throwback to the days of DOS ... but the file has remained. I believe the contents of this file are...

You can set environment variables in XP via Control Panel -> System. Then choose the "Advanced" tab and there is a button at the bottom to set environment variables. You can set either user...

Thanks for trying it out and I'm glad your initial impressions are good. I don't see the cost increasing anytime soon (we may even look to reduce costs if the volume of users is there).

Glenn

It is likely that you don't actually own the software but have a grant to use it for your own purposes. Software licenses are often non-transferrable too which means that, although you don't need it...

... another couple of options I just thought up:

SheetCam - www.sheetcam.com
CamBam - www.cambam.co.uk

There's a fair chance that these would handle the CNC post for you but I don't think they...

If you just want to draft up parts, a reasonable (and free!) cad package is DoubleCAD XT from www.doublecad.com. It is trying to be an AutoCAD LT clone and does it fairly well (but just misses the...

Hi bfcarbon,

I know it has been a while since you were looking into this but, if you are still looking, you could also try out the automatic nesting software at www.mynesting.com

It is...

The upfront costs of nesting software can be a real issue for many people (especially if you only need it once in a while). I am hoping that our new automatic nesting software, MyNesting, will...

MyNesting is pleased to announce the launch of its new automatic nesting software that can be downloaded from www.mynesting.com as of today.

This powerful automatic nesting software runs on your...
