AFAIK, IV does not support any nesting features. I've always had to use
either AutoCAD with polylines and patterning or even Inventor assembly for
simple nested parts. Either way is a royal pain in the butt. Not recommended
if you have alot of overly complicated parts. I don't know of any freeware,
but that would be valuable.
