Does Inventor Nesting have a selection filter?

[dainton]

Hi all.

Is there a way to filter the parts to be nested using a keyword? We've set up our sheet metal template to include the keyword "CUT" in it's iproperties so is there a way to only import these parts for nesting because at the moment it imports pretty much everything including parts of third party models.

Thanks

Chris

@dainton,

There's an easier way to get the result you're looking for.  You can limit extraction to only allow sheet metal parts by disabling other providers for regular parts. Please see post below for more details on how to do this:
