Auto arranging parts on sheet

[747skys]

Hi All -

Many years ago I saw a program or add-on that would take a part or several and automatically arrange them on a sheet of plywood or other sheet material.  It allowed you to specify how many of each part to configure on the sheet.

Does anyone know if this exists and what is is called or if available as an add-on?

Thanks

What you are looking for is called "Nesting". This is something the Fusion team IS working on, but not available to the public as of yet. I do know there are loads of simple free (or cheap) web based apps that make this somewhat possible with simple dxf sketches

Thanks Seth.  That is exactly what I was looking for.
