Critical SOLIDWORKS Update

Service Pack SOLIDWORKS 2016 SP4

It is strongly recommended that the users of NESTINGWorks upgrade to SP4 of

SOLIDWORKS2016

Purpose:

SOLIDWORKS issue SPR# 924087 used to make unfolding fail when Create Nest

Job command was invoked for an assembly.

This issue has been fixed in SOLIDWORKS2016 SP4 and in SOLIDWORKS 2017

versions. Upgrading to this Service Pack will greatly improve the NESTINGWorks

experience.

Known issues:

SOLIDWORKS 2016 SP4 fixes following known issues:

CWNEST-621: For the customer test assembly file (a-20380-foamcell-rev1.sldasm), some of the

parts within the generated nested layout overlap each other.

CWNEST-529:

Once nested layout is generated for an assembly, there are several errors

observed including parts that are nested outside the sheet boundaries and

overlapping nested parts.

Previewing Nested layouts before generating a Nesting Job

Purpose:

- Provides a mechanism to preview Nested layout to determine whether

nesting results are satisfactory before generating the nesting job.

- Displays a two-dimensional preview of the nested layout(s) in the

SOLIDWORKS graphics area as long as the Nesting Preview Window is open.

Implementation:

Changes to the ‘Create Nesting Job’ dialog box:

A new Preview Nest… button has been introduced in the Create Nesting Job dialog box. Clicking on this

button will display the newly introduced Nesting Preview window. The Generate Nesting button in the

Create Nesting Job dialog box has been renamed to Generate Nested Assembly button and moved to the

Nesting Preview window.

‘Create Nesting Job’ dialog box

Nesting Preview Window

When the Nesting Preview window is open, a two-dimensional preview of the nested layout(s) will be

displayed in the graphics area.


4

The preview of the nested layout will be displayed in the graphics area only as long as the Nesting Preview window is open.

Only one nested layout can be previewed in the graphics area when the Nesting Preview window is open. If multiple nested layouts are present, use the controls within the Nesting Preview

window to browse through the 2-D previews of these nested layout(s) in the graphics area.

If the layout(s) are not as per expectations, then exit the Nesting Preview window and alter the

values assigned to the parameters in the Create Nesting Job dialog box and preview again. Repeat

this step till desired nested layout(s) can be viewed in the graphics area.

Nesting Preview Window

Buttons and Options in the Nesting Preview Window

Delete Sheet (Button)

Clicking this button will delete the sheet containing the nested parts currently displayed in the graphics area. When the Generate Nested Assembly command within the Nesting Preview window

is executed, none of the sheets deleted using the Delete Sheet command will be generated as 3D

assemblies containing the nested parts.

Save as DXF... (Button)

The CAD data file format called (.DXF) is an international standard which enables data

interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs.

NESTINGWorks provides an optional feature to save the nested layout preview displayed in the graphics area in the *.DXF (Drawing Exchange format) file format. This is provided in the form of a

Save as DXF button option in the Nesting Preview window. On clicking this command button, the

Windows file explorer will be displayed. Use this window to assign the folder in which nested

layout in *.DXF format is to be saved.


5

All Layouts (checkbox option) In case multiple nested layouts can be generated based on the settings in the Create Nesting Job

dialog box, then on executing the Save as DXF command, only the active nested layout displayed

in the graphics area will be saved in the *.DXF format. To save all the nested layouts that have been generated in the *.DXF format, place a check in the All layouts checkbox. Each nested

layout saved in the *.DXF format will have a suffix in its name indicating the serial number of

the layout.

Display / DXF Options (Button)

The two-dimensional preview of the nested layout displayed in the graphics area is made up of multiple layers comprising of the following:

Sheet in which the parts to be nested

Profile of the parts being nested

Form geometry

Bend lines (applicable for sheet metal parts)

Bend limits (applicable for sheet metal parts)

Clicking on the Display/DXF Options button displays the DXF Output Options dialog box.

DXF Output Options dialog box

Use this dialog box to assign/edit the default settings for exporting the various layers of the

two-dimensional nested layout preview(s) in *.DXF file format. The settings you assign in this

dialog box will be applied to the active nested layout displayed in the graphics area when it is saved in *.DXF format. If the All layouts checkbox option is enabled, then the settings in this

dialog box will be applied to all the unique nested layouts generated for the nesting job as all these layouts will be saved in *.DXF format when the Save as DXF command is executed.

Generate Nested Assembly (Button)

When the preview layout(s) displayed in the graphics area are as per expectations, click on the Generate Nested Assembly button in the Nesting Preview window to generate the nested layout(s).


6

Lengths along X and Y axis of the part Boundaries

Purpose:

The length along the X and Y axis of the part boundaries or size of the part will

be displayed in the Part Data tab of the Create Nest Job dialog box. This will help

user get idea about size of the part with respect to the sheets.

Implementation:

The X and Y size indicates the part boundaries or size of the part in X and Y direction, where the

normal is considered as a the Z direction. By default, the face of the part with the largest surface

area is selected as the normal face and the corresponding X and Y parametric values will be

displayed in the Part data tab.

Examples:

1. User has selected the side face as the Normal face of the part and accordingly the X and Y values

will be computed.

Normal Face selected by user

Corresponding Information displayed in Part Data tab


7

2. User has selected the Top flat face as the Normal face of the part and accordingly the X and Y

values are updated.

Normal Face selected by user

Corresponding Information displayed in Part Data tab


8

Support Grain direction along part texture

Purpose: Provides a mechanism to assign grain direction along the texture defined on the

normal face of the part to be nested.

Implementation:

Pre-requisites:

This functionality is available only when NESTINGWorks 2016 SP2 (or future higher versions) is

used in conjunction with SOLIDWORKS 2016 or higher versions.

Texture must be applied to the face that selected as the Normal face in the Part Data tab of Create

Nesting Job dialog box.

Selecting Grain Direction:

In previous versions of NESTINGWorks, only the following options were available for Grain direction

parameter is Part data tab of Create Nesting Job dialog box:

X

Y

None (no direction preference)

From NESTINGWorks 2016 SP2 version onwards, if the above mentioned pre-requisites are met, then

an additional option viz. Texture direction will be available in the Grain direction dropdown list.

If Texture direction option is selected as the Grain direction, then the direction of the texture

applied to the Normal face will be considered when generating nested layouts.

An arrow indicating the grain direction will be visible in the Part preview area within the Part data

tab as well as in the graphics area.

The Rotation angle computed for the selected Grain direction will be displayed in the Part angle list

field of the Part data tab and greyed out.

Part Face selected as Normal for which Texture has been applied

[ote that Arrow indicating the Grain direction will be displayed in Graphics Area]


9

a. ‘Texture direction’ option for Grain direction in Part Data tab

b. Computed Rotation angle for Texture direction option displayedin Part angle list field

c. Arrow indicating Grain direction displayed in Part preview area

Setting defaults for Grain direction:

The default selection for Grain direction parameter can be set in the DefaultValues.ini file.

The default selection can be modified to set Texture direction as the default. In such a scenario, if

nested layouts are generated for a part for which the selected Normal face has no texture defined,

then the default grain direction will be None.

Note:

After installation/upgradation of NESTINGWorks, all the initialization files will be installed to the

following typical folder location:

Drive:\NESTINGWorksData\NESTINGWorks 201x\Lang\English


10

Automatically identify the imported bodies that can be unfolded

Purpose: Automatically identify the imported bodies that can be unfolded using

NESTINGWorks unique unfolding technology.

Implementation:

When you execute the Create Nest Job command, NESTINGWorks will check the parts/assembly to be

nested for the presence of imported parts.

If imported parts are present, and if NESTINGWorks can unfold such bodies then the Unfold

Imported Bodies dialog box will be displayed if the Enable Auto Unfold option is enabled

If imported parts are absent, then the Create Nesting Job dialog box will be displayed. The native

sheet metal parts present will be unfolded using SOLIDWORKS functionality.

In previous versions of NESTINGWorks, all imported solid bodies were listed in the Unfold Imported

Bodies dialog box for unfolding. Listing of the non-sheet metal imported solid bodies was unnecessary

as they do not require unfolding.

Examples:

If the assembly to be nested contains native sheet metal parts, native solid bodies, imported

sheet metal bodies and imported solid bodies, then only the imported sheet metal parts will be listed in the Unfold Imported Bodies dialog box.

If the assembly to be nested contains native sheet metal parts and native solid bodies and

imported solid bodies, then Unfold Imported Bodies dialog box will not be displayed as there are

no imported sheet metal parts to unfold. These parts will be directly listed in Create Nesting Job

dialog box.

Only imported sheet metal parts are now listed in ‘Unfold Imported Bodies’ dialog box

Imported solid bodies won’t be

listed

Only imported sheet metal

parts will be listed

From NESTINGWorks 2016 SP 0.0, these options are settings are displayed and

can be defined/ edited in the newly added Options tab of the Create Nesting Job dialog box.

Options tab in ‘Create Nesting Job’ dialog box


20

Option to select face with maximum features as reference plane when Unfolding parts

Purpose:

In NESTINGWorks, when unfolding sheet metal parts with bends, the face with

the largest surface area will be selected as the reference plane by default. This

reference plane will be normal to the machining direction.

An optional feature introduced in NESTINGWorks 2016 SP0.0 enables users to

select the face with maximum features as the reference plane while unfolding

sheet metal parts with bends.

Implementation:

In specific cases, when unfolding sheet metal parts, users might want

NESTINGWorks to select the face with the maximum number of features as the

reference face rather than the face with the largest surface area. For such cases,

NESTINGWorks provides an option within its initialization file named DefaultValues.ini for enabling/disabling the functionality to select the face with

maximum features as the reference plane.

The default settings for enabling/disabling this feature is controlled from the

initialization file named DefaultValues.ini under the section named [NestingData] in

the form of the flag MinorArea.

When the flag MinorArea is assigned the default value of ‘0’, then the

reference face selected for unfolding a sheet metal part with bends would

be the face with the largest surface area.

When the flag MinorArea is assigned the value of ‘1’, then the reference

face selected for unfolding a sheet metal part would be the face with the

maximum features. The face selected may or may not be the face with

the largest surface area but it has the maximum features.

21

Option to select the starting corner area for a nested layout

Purpose: Option introduced to select the corner area (viz. upper right, upper left, lower

right, lower left) of the sheet on which the nesting process will be executed.

Implementation:

The functionality to select the corner area of the sheet from where the nesting process would begin is provided in the initialization file named DefaultValues.ini.

The default setting for the functionality to select the corner area of the sheet

from where the nesting process would begin is controlled from the initialization file named DefaultValues.ini under the section named [SheetData] in the form of

the flag StartingCorner.

This flag can be assigned the following numerical values:

1: For lower left corner [Default setting]

2: For lower right corner

3: For upper right corner

4: For upper left corner

To change the corner area of the sheet from where the nesting process would

begin, simply assign the numerical value associated with corner as indicated

above to the flag and save the changes made to the initialization file. Once the

NESTINGWorks application is reloaded, the newly changed settings will take

effect. For all nesting layouts that are generated, the corner area from where

the nesting process would begin on the sheet will be the option set in the

initialization file.

Lower Right Corner as starting area for nested layout

Upper Left Corner as starting area for nested layout

Upper Right Corner as starting area for nested layout
