Bringing your work over, part 5 of 5: Nest the shapes on a sheet

The coaster, the key fob and the welded name are selected, and Shop > Nest the selected shapes... packs five of each into a sheet 400 by 400 mm, the size of a small laser's bed: fifteen pieces on one sheet, each by its true shape with what is drawn inside it, turned where that packs better. The window says what it will come to before anything moves.

Bringing your work over: the whole project

Work made elsewhere was brought into the program and made ready to cut. The film shows a laser project file opening with its layers and cut settings in the laser job, an SVG dropped on the window with its colors as layers, Tidy up for cutting mending a drawing with doubled lines and an open corner, Weld making overlapping letters one outline, and Nest the selected shapes packing copies onto a sheet the size of a laser's bed.
