Hobbyist (free license holders) can use this workaround: • Nesting Parts in Fusio...
The new Arrange feature can be used to nest parts in Fusion 360. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to auto-arrange parts on sheet goods, such as plywood.
Arrange serves as an efficient and easy workflow for CNC, Laser Cutters, and other machines that require flat layouts.
This concept is often referred to as "Nesting" or Nest. Speaking of Nest, there's a big announcement in the middle of the video ;)

NEST.... Looking forward to the NEST space.. I've been playing with the arrange and having some difficulties when placing parts onto multiple sketches (I have some flat furniture which takes multiple sheets and like to to the CAM set ups next to each other). So far I've still been moving the parts manually to position after arranging them onto a plane.

@ProductDesignOnline 3 года назад

Are you using the Arrange feature twice (once per each sketch)?

@Diplopada 3 года назад

Nest! Looking so much forward to this! Using it every day in alphacam, and it just kills the program, and feels like a work around. Will fusion nesting reconise different part thikness and vineer direction?

@ravijavia8183 3 года назад

Arrange is a simplified version of the Advanced Nesting functionality which is currently in development. Advanced Nesting will provide the additional control you are looking for, including automatic material and thickness detection, grain direction, rotation/deviation controls, and much more.

@robsandstrom9854 3 года назад

This nesting feature may turn out to be a game changer for me. Trying to manually layout parts on cut diagram was so time consuming - this is an awesome edition. I don't use Fusion 360 to generate g-code for my Laguna IQ CNC and the bed s limited to 2'x 3' so will need to determine how I can next to smaller plywood or stock - I think I just do multiple sketches and pick which components I want on each sketch - is this accurate? I also still need to figure out the best way to export my parts into Aspire or vCarve Pro. Great work.

Arrange feature is even better this year and you can use it from the design workspace if you set a check on the option in preferences. Advanced arrange is getting better every release. #AutodeskEmployee

I'm not sure if this is still possible using the most up to date software version, on a personal, non-commercial license.

@montebrown8398 3 года назад

Awesome, haven’t played with it yet. Once nested can a DXF be generated?

@ravijavia8183 3 года назад

Hi Monte, there are two ways to export/output dxf for the arranged results: 1. While in the Edit Manufacturing Model environment, project the boundaries of arranged objects onto a sketch and then export the sketch as a dxf OR 2. Create a setup and toolpath operation for the arranged objects. Please make sure the sideways compensation is set to "Center" (for 2D Profile) or "Off" (for 2D Contour). Then you can PostProcess the toolpath by selecting one of the available DXF posts from the fusion post library. In the post dialog, you can set 'onlyCutting' = "YES" to get rid of the linking motion. And you can set 'includeDrill' = "NO" to avoid points at the drilling positions. To download and install the dxf post on your computer, please visit - "cam.autodesk.com/hsmposts?"

@briansteck4627 3 года назад

Nest! If I have only 1 Sheetmetal part in design can I move to manufacturing space and just type in how many of those items I want to nest and will it generate the multiple part DXF file that can be exported to my laser?

@saeedalamoudi1147 3 года назад

Thank you for the very informative video worked with me very well. Can you please advise how can i export my arrangement in DXF format?

@ProductDesignOnline 3 года назад

Hi Saeed. I would expect that to be more automated soon...but the easiest way to do that now is to create a new sketch and then use the Project command to project all the edges to the current sketch. That makes everything available in one sketch, where you can then export it as a DXF (right-click on sketch in Browser > Save as DXF).

Great video Kevin. However, for us mere mortals who don't have CNC machines and have to cut "wood" with saws, is there any way of creating a drawing of the layout? Or do you have to manually place the parts on a separate design and then create a drawing from that? Thanks, keep up the good work :)

@ProductDesignOnline 3 года назад

Hi Damion. Hoping to do a video on that soon! Thanks for watching :)

@royalflush1964 3 года назад

Figured out a way to do it. Very convoluted though. Create a new component in the manufacturing space, start a sketch, project layout onto sketch. Copy the component projections to a new assembly sketch on a new sheet. Extrude projections and create a drawing. Hope it makes sense, I'm a relative newby. Hope your way is easier 😀.

@ohnuh 3 года назад

Once you arrange everything, can you export as EPS to send out to a cnc shop for them to cut? I don't know which machine they will use, they just asked me to have it arranged inside a specific area with spacing. Also, once you've arranged can you get a sketch version?

@ProductDesignOnline 3 года назад

You can save as a DXF file but would have to convert the DXF to EPS in another program. Fusion doesn't work with EPS, as those are vector files.
