Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong. I've imported 2 separate drawings into Sheetcam and I want to cut them out on one peice of material (plasma cutting). Initially, after importing the first drawing,I would import the 2nd drawing but the first one would dissapear off the material, so after importing them I saved each one as a part then opened the 2 parts to get them both showing on the material. However Sheetcam only seems to deal with one at a time, it doesn't cut one then immediately go over to cut the next part. On the left of the screen under "parts", each part is listed with a tick box next to it. Both tick boxes are ticked but I only get a cut path for one part when I click on the part name. How do I make the 2 parts get cut at once. Is there somewhere in setup where I have to enable multiple parts. I have the latest version of Sheetcam and cannot find this. The old V5 PDF manual mentions this but the menus have changed since that version. Thanks, Keith. |

| I had exactly the same issue. What you need to do is after you have imported your first drawing, go to the file menu and select NEW PART rather than import new drg. Use the nesting button and and move to the required position. |
