When the nest drawings are approved they need to be prepared for CNC cutting.


  1. Create a new folder with the project name and add Nests CNC.
example: 08007-05 Nests CNC
  1. Copy the nest files from the ShipConstructor Nests folder into the new folder.
  2. Rename the files.
example: 08007-B10-Nest PL04 Steel S5
  1. Hide layer stock.
  2. Use Quick Select to filter all blocks and explode them, repeat this if necessary until all blocks are gone
  3. Check if all entities are on layer _PRD.
  4. Use Quick Select to find all ARL entities, explode them.
  5. Remove all vertices, tolerance 0.05.

The drawing is now ready for CNC cutting.
