Optimizing Material in Autodesk Inventor

Does Inventor have a built-in app for optimizing the number of parts that can be cut to a certain sized stock?

I don't need it to give me G-Code for CNC operations. I just need to be able to give a solid count of parts that can be cut.

No, you would need to look at software such as Radan or Striker Systems for their nesting software/programs.

I should add, this software is not cheap.

You can also add in MTC Pronest which is now part of Thermadyne Cutting. I'm sure there are a couple of others as well.

I know, which is why I was hoping Inventor might have something.
