Avoiding Oversize

The Allow Alternate Sizes to Avoid Oversizing feature automatically selects the most appropriate sheet size available, within the current material and gauge, to avoid oversizing parts while automatically nesting.

  1. Click File Setup Main Database General Nesting, or select the Main Database icon from the Utility Bar.

    The following dialog displays.

  2. Click the Allow Alternate Sizes to Avoid Oversizing option.
  3. Click Apply and OK.
