Fusion
I plasma cut and wood route lots of parts. recently i developed a few products to fill the unused space in the sheet. however adding those parts to 50+ cut files has proven to be a giant pain in the butt. Hopefully its something im doing wrong.
my old workflow is,
make the part in design
Move to mfg space
pattern it to fill the whole sheet in mfg model.

However fusion doesn't support adding models to mfg yet
adding them to the design makes a mess cause of the patterning (it patterns everything in the design at once.... and often glitches out and patterns in both directions)
nesting works with simple shapes but if its any sort of complex it freezes even with a top of the line processor (ryzen 7950x processor and 32gb of ram)
any ideas? anything else to try.
The only thing that works is to do everything in the design space. I'm just trying to get away from that as that seems to be the way fusion is going (doing things with mfg models) and would prefer not to make a custom file any time i wanted to throw a few small parts in to fill up a sheet
e.g. this was done in the design space to show what id like to accomplish. Have a file of circles, add the squares if i need a few. Fill the rest of the space with something else.
