I am assuming that there is no way, but maybe I can't find it? so I'm making this post more for awareness. Fusion 360 should have a nesting in the CAM area of the program for 4x8 and 4x10 sheets of material, thickness of your choosing. I assume it is a very complicated task for 3D software to do something like this unlike softwares like AlphaCAM and Cabinet Vision. Today I was manually laying out dovetail drawer parts on the machine and I was like damnet, they need a way of doing this easier.
Not to brag about the software, but the program for 300 dollars a year is incredible, except for the fact that it doesn't nest parts. I've paid thousands of dollars for software that has less programming capabilities. There are some things I can complain about but I've always found a way to work around them so far. I work with a Centroid and Techno machine, that both required expensive post processors some of which I even must tweak after paying for, and a couple of little MACH3 controlled machines, and all the posts from the program have worked out the box.
If there was some type of nesting feature in the program I think it would be in a league of its own.
