Nesting enhancement

[jean-michel_legoff]

Hi,

I've seen that it is possible to prepare parts to nest from the Design workbench.

It's convenient to select either Sketch, solid or Sheet metal components But I was wondering if it could be possible to edit the quantity? the value is set to "1" by default and prbably make sense, but why display it if you can't edit th of the number?

on the other hand, it's also possible to set the thickness but how to set the material?

As it is a "Sketch" it's not possible to affect a Physcal MAterial nor an Appearance...

It could be valuable to add this choice in the "prepare nesting" dialog.

Many Thanks

@jean-michel_legoff ,

Thanks for the suggestions. Currently the quantity and material overrides can be set in the Component Sources dialog in the Manufacture WS. For the material overrides, it will allow you to pick from one of the materials available in the document.

I agree, it would be nice to have these overrides available within Nest Preparation as well. And then these could carry forward to Component Sources dialog.

Regards,
