Hi all,
We have installed an new coil line and want to use it to supply our plasma cutter with appropriately sized sheets. For example instead of using a standard 1500x3000mm sheet the job may only require a 1500x2250mm sheet. This is quite common if manufacturing large duct or for the last sheet in a job.
I am having trouble with the "Use Default Sheet Size" and "Allow Alt. Sizes" options. The material has been setup with a minimum size of 1500x1000mm (which is set to default) and a maximum of 1500x3000mm. Sizes in between are in increments of 50mm. When I nest the job it spits out a 1500x2400mm sheet which is only partially filled (30%) and fails to nest everything else (nothing should require over sizing in this test).
Am I doing something wrong? I have played with the oversize and nesting options to the point of exhaustion, and am beginning to think that what I want isn't really possible.
Any ideas?
I am thinking that I can just fudge the sheet length on a nest report or something using the utilized length. It would work just fine, but I'd rather do it right.
Regards,
Luke
