Waste Length Maximum
Define the maximum waste length. Any remaining length equal to or smaller than this value is considered to be waste.
Valid Nesting Max. Waste

Bar List Information
The list defines information for different profile types. A certain profile type can be present more than once. The list is read starting from the top, and the first line that satisfies all conditions is used. A zero for body size or thickness means that all values are considered valid.
Note: This file is only used as an initial list. If the Profile Nesting function is used and this list is not present in the block directory, it will be copied to that directory. The Profile Nesting function can be used to modify the list in the block directory.
Nest List Save Name

The following fields can be used:
- ObjectNumber – Specifies the object number of the project.
- ProjectName – Specifies the name of the project.
- BlockGroup – Specifies the group the block is assigned to.

Profile Nest Data In Profile Sheet
Define if nesting sketches should be included in profile sheets. The default setting is Disabled, which means that nesting sketches are not included.
See Profile Sheets and Nesting Sketches in Profile Sheets for more information.
Nest Table Header Text First Col.
Define the header text of the first column of the nest table in the nesting sketch. The default text is Number.
See Table of Nested Parts for more information.
Nest Table Header Text Second Col.
Define the header text of the second column of the nest table in the nesting sketch. The default text is Name.
See Table of Nested Parts for more information.
Include The Same Profile Sketches
When nesting sketches are included in the profile sheet (see the Profile Nest Data In Profile Sheet setting above), the system creates a nesting sketch for each profile type and material combination, and adds the nesting sketches to the profile sheet as separate pages, followed by pages containing the profile sketches that belong to that nesting. Depending on the situation, some or all of the nesting sketches may be identical. By default the system only includes such a nesting sketch once.
The default setting is Disabled, which means that identical nesting sketches are not duplicated in the profile sheet. Only unique nesting sketches are included.
Select Enabled for this setting to make the system include all profile sketches in the profile sheet, even if there are identical ones.
See Profile Sheets and Nesting Sketches in Profile Sheets for more information.
