    Nesting is for 2D geometry and 2D toolpaths. It should like you can program one of your parts with 2D and 3D toolpaths and then use toolpath patterns to make an array for the result you are looking for.

    OK thanks Al, that worked well. I have never looked at "toolpath pattern" before, maybe I should explore all the other bits of BobCAD to find what I'm missing. I have started playing with threading but BC crashes when I try to add a new thread type to the thread library so I've just added to an existing type seems to work.

    Thanks for your help.
