No access to "nesting menu" in Inventor 2022

RomainD05 — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 03:25:43 GMT

I have updated my Inventor recently and can not get the nesting of my projects or open the nesting files which we made with Inventor 2021.
Even I can not run Inventor 2021 to access the previous files.
We can do nothing and we are locked down by the issue.

Thanks mate,
but when I updated my Inventor 2020 to Inventor 2021, I did not do anything and I had the Nesting add-in in my menu bar, But now I have Nesting 2020 and Nesting 2021 but I can not add it to my Inventor and this is my issue.
do you have a solution?
thanks in advance

Inventor Nesting has always been a separate download/install

read what was said above the add in is not available for 2022 yet

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do until Nesting 2022 is released/installed. The addins for 2020/2021 won't work properly with 2022.

Thank you for your help.
But We need all the package at the same time. I had an issue with my Inventor 2021 and after a while, I was in touch with one of the Autodesk expert to fix the problem (in a remote session ). After he listened to me, he went straight through updating the Inventor and did not fix my problem with Inventor 2021 and I thought it could be ok. But just 2 days after, when we need to send some DXF files to the Laser cut Machine, I found there is no access to Nesting Menu and what I did was "UNINSTALLING" the Inventor 2022 from our system and managing the Inventor 2021 to default and...
What disappointed me and my manager was we lost a day cost of a CNC machine plus my time and a team in the shed and it was exactly Autodesk fault.
However, after the new Nesting released, I will switch to Inventor 2022.
Thanks again.
