I'm curious if anyone knows of any "cheap" (hobbyist cheap) tools for taking a CAD model and laying out the individual parts/components on sheet stock (plywood, mdf, etc.)? I have a Fusion 360 model that I want to layout on 4x4 plywood sheets for cutting on my CRP-4848. In Alibre/Geomagic I would create another assembly modeling the available surface area of a 4x4 sheet, and drag-n-drop the parts/components on to the sheet. Then I would do the CAM work in Bobcad to cut it out. Fusion 360 as quite a bit of HSMworks built-in, but doesn't seem to offer this feature - yet. It will be there eventually but until then I need something to bridge the gap. Any tool that would tear a model apart and lay it out on sheet shock would allow me to re-import back into Fusion 360 to do the CAM work.

Any ideas, suggestions?
