    Nesting Wizard, Mach3 internal wizard.

    Hello all,
    First time posting here. Yesterday I ran one of the Wizards for the first time.
    This Wizard being the Nesting Wizard. It is one of the Wizards that came with Mach3. Well, I was under the impression that a nesting program would offset your g-code by the required amount to allow for multiple pieces to be cut from the same program file. Well Nesting Wizard would not offset the G-code. It would simply start all over again in the same location. Now I didn't take the time to look through the G-code to see what it was doing. Only because of time, and I thought that's what the Nesting Wizard was supposed to do.
    Any Idea's

    TIA
    Peace
    Neil

    Read the instructions in the upper right hand corner of the wizard screen. You need an M99 as the last line in your code before the wizard will work. It worked fine for me when I added the M99.
