You are correct. You can start a new thread in one of the existing topics. Here it the link to the cad/cam general section.

Thank you for the link David!
Yes, I will try to remove old versions.
Adam - My Plasmacam Design Edge software has the capability to nest shapes with the option to generate cut paths at the same time. So this is what I would normally use. But perhaps others who don't have the Design Edge software will be interested in your nesting program.

Adam - I tried your software and really couldn't get it to work. Since you have not been back to the forum, I assume you are no longer interested in feedback or reviews of your program.

I have made a lot of updates on my nesting software since then. In my case it was better to leave tool-paths to established CAM software. User can make his dgnest_parts.dxf, import this dxf in CAM and then create tool-paths there.
