Multiples of same part, fixed stock size

Good morning.  I am relatively new to all of this so bear with me.  I have a part that is drawn and have toolpaths which I plan to run as a single to prove it.  The gross dimensions of the part are 6.5"L x .775"W.  I would like to machine this same part as many times as possible out of a 24"x24" piece of stock.  I have asked around and have gotten different answers such as patterns, using an app, work offsets, etc.  I have run individual pieces but this is my first shot at doing multiples of the same component.  THanks for any help.

There is nesting in preview I believe. Not sure if that works as you would expect. But could give it a try.

@Laurens-3DTechDraw I am buying the subscription today so maybe that might be the hangup.

Well I see now that that is an extension preview feature, so that would mean paying extra.

Which probably doesn't make sense for you. So in that case I would probably just create a pattern yourself indeed within the stock dimensions.
