Inventor 2020 and Nesting Utility (2020.0.3 Hot Fix) - Unable To Suppress Lines

[joshua.miller453QA]

I am trying to export a DXF from the results of the Nesting Utility so I can program the nested parts at the waterjet. I am unable to turn off "Ignored for nesting purposes", even with a custom configuration.

What I am looking for is just the profile of the nested part(s), i.e. no dimensions, arrows, etc.

Am I missing something or is this currently not possible?

If you use the Default Extract and Export Configurations under Options, you will get what you desire.  Take a look at the Screencast (no sound).  I have a specific template I use but it has the Defaults set.

I am able to turn off / hide layer 251 in various programs like AutoCad or DWG TrueView. However, I am not able to turn this layer off in Flow Path, the waterjet CAM software. To work around this I am trying to not have this layer included during the export process.

@joshua.miller453QA ,
At this time it is not possible to selectively control what layers are included/excluded during the dxf export from Nesting. Please see post below for workaround.
