Is there a program like www.pathfinder3d.com for Inventor

Hi guys,

I'm using Inventor in our cabinet shop and I'm looking for a software like www.pathfinder3d.com to get our 3D drawing ready for CNC anything out there like that??

Thanks!

but I'd suspect you want "nesting" capabilities. 

It would help to further define your needs.

Just curious.  Did you check to see what formats the CNC will take?  I ask because a company I used to work for used Solidworks and we used Mastercam to interface with the CNC machine.  All we had to do was export out the drawings in a .dxf format and Mastercam would read it.  Just wondering if this same procedure would work in your case.

If this solved your issue please mark this posting "Accept as Solution".

Or if you like something that was said and it was helpful, Kudos are appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Yes nesting, after some googling I found router-CIM and the have a plugin called solid-CIM that's what I was looking for I gonna get in touch with them.

I have MasterCam too but what I was looking for was a program to do nesting, thanking our 3D assembly and lay all parts flat and nest them by material but I found Solid-CIM that's what I was looking for.
