Frequently Asked
Answers before your first nesting session.
Which DXF versions are supported?
Upload R12 and newer DXF exports. For proprietary CAD formats, export to DXF or reach out to our team for assistance.
Can I restrict part rotations?
Yes. Set allowed rotation increments (e.g., 5° or 90°) or lock orientation entirely to respect grain direction.
Do I need to install anything locally?
No downloads required. Dimenl Nest runs in the browser and syncs results to your shared workspace.
Can I run multi-sheet projects?
Absolutely. Configure multiple sheet sizes per job and let Dimenl balance utilization across them.
