OptiNest 3.02 is now available to download.
Label enhancements
These changes make it easier and faster to apply labels to the correct part and ensure they are correctly orientated.
A positional arrow can be displayed, adjust the label so the arrow points upwards and any edging shown on the label will correspond to the correct location on the actual part.
A new nesting pattern visual shows the position of the part on the pattern.
In addition, data fields can now be displayed as QR codes as well as text or barcodes.
Finally, a new CYC file format is available for automatic label application.
Also included is the addition of a new accelerator to the DXF importer, useful for segment heavy files.

Edge bander compensation
If the edge bander removes all or part of the edging thickness, OptiCut will remove only the complement (3 options are available to manage this). More information is available in the Help Centre here: OptiCut net versus overall dimensions.
Hide prices
This option hides all pricing information on the printed optimisation results.
Group similar cutting patterns for PTX output
The “Group similar cutting patterns” option is now compatible with the PTX post processor.
Part references on half page printed results
The half page printed results include a list of parts. The part reference is now shown next to the part dimensions.
