    Nesting machined parts

    I would like to nest machined parts.

    Can I specify a distance from one part to another. It seems that MCX2 controls the interpart distance.

    I am doing a simple nesting , constant offset in the X direction.

    yes, transform toolpath..... as much time as you like.
    The best way to learn is trial error.

    I was going to ask if you are using the nesting option or transform. then there is also Rectangler nesting and trueshape nesting options. But you found what you need correct?
