Artcam question:
So if you operate the nesting feature, it nests grouped entities well. But doesn't nest the toolpaths for those entities. I have only seen demos of people nesting very simplistic single operation nested parts (cutout) and not multiple operation -nested parts (champher, hole drill, text etch, rabbit and then, cutout)
I am aware you can piggyback on previous selected entities by cascading your toolpath creation one after the other, but this is not what I am talking about. I have parts with 5 distinct operations and toolpaths that must go with those operations.
If you have one part that has 5 different toolpaths, and you want 20 of these parts you have to re-select all the entities among all the copies turning what should be a quick nesting task into a slow job of 100+ clicks to redistribute the toolpaths onto their specific entities. Am I missing something here?
Thank you for your response, it is very appreciated.
