    Change cut order of nested parts??

    I'm using sheetcam for plasma cutting. I often cut a number of identical parts by copying and manually nesting them. It always cuts the copy before the original. Is there a way to make it cut the original first?

    Currently it tries to minimize the rapid distance between parts. At the moment you cannot change the cut order. I am working on this.

    In the mean time, one solution would be to nest the parts in your drawing rather than in SheetCam.

    Thanks for the quick reply. I can deal with it the way it is, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something simple.
