multiaxis nesting

[LucasGC]

Hello,

I discovered the nesting toolpaths operation today and was pretty excited to use it, until I found out it does not support multiaxis operations.

Does anyone have a workaround for this or another way to do it?

Thanks

couldn't imagine why, but if your trying to nest things on a rotary, nest it flat and "ROLL" it in transform.

Last time i had to do this was for a Waterjet application, we ended up  applying the 5axis operation to the first part, then used the Transform toolpath to do a rectangular array. Its obviously not like true shape nesting or anything but that might work for you since the transform operation supports multi-axis operations and since transform offers a lot of options for copying the operation over a rectangular or polar coordinate.
