Any recomendations for a nesting solution in AutoCad? We have a circuilar piece of material and need to cut simple squares / rectangles but also some more cut complex shapes and need a quick visual that can orientate the shapes in the most economic way. Any help would be much appreciated.

This is a bit outside of Autocad Swimlane.

You will have better luck using a tools outside autocad and mimicking the results.

What you are asking requires a lot of recursive analysis. Something like the tool below may get you on your way:

Autodesk has a nesting tool but it only works with Inventor: https://www.autodesk.com/products/inventor-nesting/overview?plc=PDCOLL&term=1-YEAR&support=ADVANCED&...

you can try to use Revit architecture and can show in 3D view. thanks

Remember : without the difficult times in your LIFE, you wouldn't be who you are today. Be grateful for the good and the bad. ANGER doesn't solve anything. It builds nothing, but it can destroy everything...

Sorry but I do not understand the responses here.

I thought you wanted a way to calculate how many shapes could be cut out of a piece of material.

Are you asking for something else?
