pronest nesting software

[BrianMick]

Is any one out there using pronest with plasmacam software. I was told you can output to plasmacam from pronest. How does this work and what do I have to do. I am just learning pronest with our new table and was wondering if this can be done and how to go about doing it.(Jim I know you are running a plasmacam also, so if anyone knows I am sure it is you)

Plasmacam now has its own nesting module for the Design Edge software. It will nest shapes within shapes and even scale down pieces to fit in scrap areas. You can catalog partial sheets to place a new nest on uncut areas.
But to answer your question, with other nesting software you would just export the nest as a dxf to use in the Plasmacam software.

George Is the Plasmacam nesting program something that I can just call and get unlocked or is it something I will have to wait 3 days for the software disc to arrive once ordered.

Brian im not sure if the pronest will read the pcm, since it is its own language! I have used pronest for 7 yrs now with great success and it reads a ton of different file stuff. and as someone else mentioned exporting the hole plasamcam nest as a dxf might be the only way. kyle
