Continuing on partially used material

Post by BorstMetalWorks »

Is there a way to save a partially used sheet in sheet cam for later use. What i mean is if i load a full sheet. cut a few things out of it and then later re open that partially used sheet in sheet cam to nest more parts on it.

Thanks

Yep. Just save the job file, and when you reopen that job file later you can add new parts to the existing. Just remember to disable the cutting operations for the already-cut parts so you don't try to cut them out of the nothing. ;)
