Nesting parts with different depth geometry

[Tom Anderson]

We are having trouble when trying to nest parts with geometry at different depths.

 

It works fine if the parts exist in the file you are nesting in and you use “Add chained parts”. But if you nest by adding parts from external files using “Add parts from file”, then it projects all geometry to the same Z height.

 

Bug?

Are you using the mastercam nesting, or a add in nesting feature?

[Tom Anderson]

Yes, we are using Mastercam nesting.
