I've almost got my boss convinced that we should build a cnc router to cut our boards. I know it'll seal the deal if I can show him how much money we could save in materials if we nested out cut lists onto 4x8 sheets of ply. Anybody have a solution to take board qnty and dimensions in MS Excel, ie:

1 @ 3.5" x 48"
4 @ 5.5" x 27"
10 @ 1.5" x 32"
2 @ 7.625" x 183.5"

and nest them onto 4' x 8' ply? My understanding is..... Cad drawing to .dxf to nesting program to gcode converter to machine. I have Autocad '08.
