| It appears to be a canned shape program as used on Plasma/Gas cutting etc. You pull the shape up you want and enter the size parameters required. Some will also offer nesting of the same parts or more than one part. In this case the parts can be reversed or rotated in the nest for maximum material use. For example the picture shows shape 01 pulled up. Al.

| Unless someone recognizes it, you could Google Plasma Nesting - Custom Shape Cutting etc. This is an example http://www.mtc-software.com/products/pronest.php For custom shapes, it is sometimes easier to write your own macros, if the software does not have it. Al.

| Thats the beauty of having them built in, the Plasma/Cut software I use not only has them built in, but you can add your own, the advantage is the canned shape appears on the screen when you size it, whereas a straight macro program only exists in software until you actually run the part, then it will appear on screen if the control has path display ability. You need a book on parametric programming to write macro's. Al.
