While I was doing some nesting today I made a small list of features I rely on, and was wondering what if any were going to be implemented in Fusion's nesting.

1. Material database - sheet sizes, thickness, M102 naming. (the M102 database name could be added to sheetmetal rules)

2. Completely manual positioning - often employed to use up off cuts or customer stock. Able to sketch construction lines on the stock to help with this.

3. Sheet trimming - semi-automatic and the ability to sketch a tool path directly on the stock.

4. Full nest etch selecting. Etching is usually the first operation (second if pierce point pre-burn is needed) and the way I do it now is simply box select the entire nest with the etch tool selected and bingo. Could be handled with 'ETCH SKETCHES' on the flat patterns. Right now in Fusion CAM I have to select each individual line or arc, no way I think to group select, Not fun on a multi component nest with part numbers.

5. Ability to remove parts from a nest and put them back into a 'Still to nest' list.

6. Tool Path Ordering - If done automatically it is very important that cutting start away from the clamps and works towards the clamps on a certain machine (not a flying optic, the sheet is moved for x axis) since otherwise the lowering rigidity of the sheet as parts are cut will cause an accuracy problem.

7. Part Tagging - Since like point 6, the sheet moves along x-axis, parts need to be tagged. This needs to be done once for each part rather then having to tag each individual nested part, really that's a no go.

Thanks for reading and when can we test this ? /Hint I am available to break, I mean test this.
