WCS in Nesting

[PeterDnz]

Can I automatically generate a WCS when I create a nesting on standard sheets with "auto sheet origins" checked in the nesting settings. Or can that only be done manually through View Manager?

I thought you could only nest in top view?

[Roger Peterson]

with auto sheet origins it automatically creates a "view" for each sheet, this is what allows you to see multiple sheets spaced along the X axis and still have the code come out correctly off the corner of the sheet.

 

You can double side nest parts that require operations from both the top and bottom of the part.

 

What is it you are looking to do with the newly created "view"?

[PeterDnz]

If I create a nesting of say 30 shts (one sided) with "Auto Sheet Origins" checked, will it create new "Named views" for each sheet or simply lay them out with the specified sheet spacing as "new views".

When I do this I don't get any new views showing up in the view manager so I assume I have to go ahead and actually set them up on the corner of each sheet in the View Manager.

It creates "new" views not "named" views but that is definitely a good idea. Thanks.
