Hi Andrew
I purchased Qcad Professional last year and downloaded a trial version of QcadCam..
Is the nesting part available separately? this is the only part I'm interested in.
I know there are open source apps out there eg Deepnest but it's not so open
it requires you to be online to open the dxf files.. I would much prefer to do
all this within Qcad.. are there any script files that do this?
Cheers
John

Yes, nesting is part of QCAD/CAM, since this is a feature primarily used in manufacturing. Please understand that nesting is an extremely complex process, by no means a small addition or just a few simple scripts as one might probably think.

Hi Andrew
Thanks for getting back to me.
Would you consider selling an add-on for QCAD Professional to do nesting.?
Many of my customers supply material to laser cutters to save money and often ask me how much material they would need.
Just now I either manually do or use a couple of lisp files that are ok or use the open source one I mentioned above..
Just a thought..I think it would be good for users that find the nesting feature useful and have no requirements for the CAM modules..
Cheers

PS I just looked at the price difference it's probably not worth splitting it up it was just a thought..
