When I import my DXF into deep nest it shows it to be 30" x 12.7" it should be 5" x 11.812"
any Ideas?

Scaling, check your scale in Deepnest import settings.

Given that 11.812 x 25.4 is 300.02, I’d say it’s a metric conversion problem. Inches to CM.

Try changing your import units to metric, CM would be my guess.

That did it on the import, strange how it nested them. When I exported it comes in to fusion off again. Tried CM in fusion that did not work. Not real impressed with the nesting job. Whole thing was like this.
I don’t know anything about that program, but given the regularity of the shape, I’m not sure you could get any more out of that area.

Yeah it definitely is not as good as other (paid) solutions. Sometimes it takes forever for it to return a good solution. For something like that, Firecontrol would probably be just as easy. You could control where the left over material is.

Can you not array or nest in f360??
Use the pattern function in the manufacturing workspace it Fusion 360.
Develop a toolpath for one of those rectangles and then pattern that toolpath.
They use the word "pattern " in Fusion 360
in fusion they use the word " arrange" and it’s only for paid subscribers. And then they have advanced arrange it’s an add-on even for paid subscribers.

got ya… was just wondering why you would design if f360 then run through another program to nest.

Ok I tried to use the nest feature but was not going to spend $1200 to use it. I will have to do some research on how to pattern the tool path. For now I may just use fire control to nest them being its such a simple shape.
Thanks for the Info guys!

Basic arrange is included with a standard subscription. you were looking at advanced arrange add on.

Perfect, now can I somehow download that or save it?
Why twitch over you tube?
I do plan on making some more polished videos for YouTube one day . twitch is just a good way of getting specific ideas out that are quick to the point for people’s specific issues.
I’m sure there’s ways to download a twitch video, this particular twitch video I made into a highlight so it does not expire.
