Nesting function

[steven.rieleyRG6PS]

Hi Guys 

I am a furniture maker and I would like to cut out about 47 components on a CNC machine. Does Auto CAD have a nesting function that could help me position the components to maximise the material usage?

Thanks in advance

Not with Autocad.

Maybe this:

Nothing built-in does that in plain AutoCAD.

Is it available in Inventor?

Thanks for your help guys,

I now have Inventor. Is nesting a part of the Inventor software or is it a separate download?
