Manual Nesting

Grouping

What makes Metalix stand out for me personally is the flexibility that Metalix offers me as the programmer. Metalix AutoNest can make automatic decisions that work in most situations; but when I would like to take a specific approach to a job, it is extremely easy and fast to implement things my way. The software does not push you into a corner and force you to do it a certain way.

In AutoNest, you can group together two or more parts as a group and then use the grouping for manual or automatic nesting to fill an area.

See how the U-shaped part and the round part are grouped to fit nicely on the sheet.
