    WE-CIM Question

    I know Gary went through this in my online training but I didn't use it and now have forgotten a step.

    If I generate a nest then edit it using transform-bump-copy what do I need to do to get it to generate code for those new copies of parts? I hit the generate code button and they show up as tooled parts but when opened in Dynatorch they do not exist. Seems like I remember Gary telling me to select the new parts, but I'm drawing a blank on what comes next.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I will probably bump into you at the mall! I just went through this last week with Gary.

    Green + sign > edit > zones > manage > and choose tool (1 if plas 2 if oxy) > assign. then click code button.

    That really helps tighten up the nest. Very neat feature

    Thanks!
    I do mostly artsy stuff and the nests usually need a little bit of tweaking for the best material use.

    Using Transform Bump

    After adding/moving parts using the transform bump feature do the following:

    Green Plus Sign- Edit-Zones-Manage-Click the number 1- then click assign

    You are now ready to code
