    Split program file for nesting sheet

    Hello.
    Sorry for my bad english.

    I do not understand, how to split program. Output NC only one file for all sheets.
    Added add-ins Split Nested Sheets and Split Nested Program.

    In txt files:
    For splitting nested sheet programs, the following variables must be declared as below within $1000

    NEST_SPLIT_SET ()
    NEST_BEGIN_MARK ("") = "" '' ">>>!#"
    NEST_END_MARK ("") = "" '' "<<<!#"

    How to add it into file correctly and how to make this work.
    Thanks

    Hello,

    this must be inside postprocessors. Without it will not works.
    Plugin which you active works "after output NC", It make a loop inside of NC code which you genereate and looking these symbols NEST_BEGIN_MARK ("") = "" '' ">>>!#"
    NEST_END_MARK ("") = "" '' "<<<!#" for start and end every new file.

    You can use split nested sheet and it will split your sheets to separately files and then you can generate it manually. For example.

    Thx.
    I didn't go into too much detail. I use Save sheets to Drawings.

    The question is not on topic.
    Is it possible to do in alpha parametric door with pattern?
    Example, Rhino+GH.
