    Can you center a nest?

    I am nesting parts out of a sheet of plastic, and I see that I can place margins around the parts, but is it possible to center the parts left to right in the material? I see no option for this. Have any of you figured out a way?

    I've done tons of nesting parts in material with mcam. there are probably a few ways to do it...lay all your parts out and then define stock around them...? this always works well.

    Or...make an assembly in solidworks with the parts in place and extrude a clear solid around them and use that as your stock...
