  • Copy the nest files from the ShipConstructor Nests folder into the new folder.
  • Rename the files.
example: 08007-B10-Nest PL04 Steel S5
  • Revisions are indicated by adding rev 1.
example: 08007-B10-Nest PL04 Steel S5 rev 1
  • freeze layer stock.
  • Use Quick Select to find all part blocks and explode them.
  • Use Quick Select to find all ARL entities and explode them.
