[Crack Keygen Inventor Nesting 2011
Rapheal Charlton
I've had this problem a tonne of times, and struggle (almost) every time I run a nest. I started writing this post, but have now I've now solved it, so I'm posting for future reference for myself and others.
I'm having problems adding source files to nests. I click the "Sources" button, select my files, and I get a prompt about source file material mapping - then no matter what I click (whether "Yes" or "No"), the "OK" button is greyed out, and I can't proceed any further.
Starting here, I add my source files - you can see them appear in the browser on the left, and in the "Sources" dialogue box. But I get the Material Mapping warning - From what I understand, this isn't unusual.
I typically work with multiple instances of Inventor - Usually 2. I'm a consultant, so I have an instance running my own vault projects, and the other is running the project for one of my clients. Normally this doesn't cause too many problems - those you do encounter are easily identifiable.
To clarify... There are two instances of Inventor - Instance 1 runs the client's vault project - this is the instance that gets priority to things like the VBA editor and probably other things like the registry etc. The second instance runs my own vault project. When I try to make changes to the VBA editor, or when Inventor normally makes changes to the registry - this instance will either error, or have no effect.
In this case, I discovered that while I was trying to load source files, Inventor has had a file resolution error, which would normally be presented with a file dialogue box where the user could re-associate the file... Now that error is weird in the first case, because the files are all stored where they belong, Secondly because that dialogue box didn't appear. It wasn't until I closed the active instance that I saw the second (idle) instance of Inventor with a stack of file resolution errors that were not visible in the active Inventor instance.
It LOOKS as though the Nesting application has started a new background application process, but has attached itself to the first instance of Inventor which has the wrong project file - hence the file resolution errors. This also explains why the dialogue boxes appeared on top of the first instance - where I wasn't even using the nesting utility...
Plot twist... It worked for a little while, then went back to the original problem... I didn't catch the exact moment - I got an error which seemed trivial, so I didn't think anything of it. After it happened, I closed Inventor and re-started it, but the problem didn't go away. I needed to re-start my PC to resolve the problem. It adds to my suspicion that the problem is occurring in a separate background application...
Autodesk Inventor Nesting can save us time and money by limiting the amount of remnant material that gets wasted. I would have loved to have this years ago. As soon as it was first released, I started to use it to find the capability and limitations.
We had a great audience on the day, who were enthusiastic and engaged in the topic. I was worried that the intro was a bit long, but it did seem to help people understand what applications nesting can be used for and what Inventor is capable of.
The feedback was positive, people seemed eager to get back and use the skills learned. There were many people that stayed after to ask follow up questions and were generally interested in the capabilities for nesting.
My experience is primarily in manufacturing and design. I started drafting iron doors, gates, spiral staircases, and fire & water features. I became an engineer at an aerospace manufacturer of contacts and connectors working with Inventor 2010. Managed drawings for 53 screw machines, designed custom fixtures, multi-step drill bits, and specialty tooling. Worked for an iron entry door manufacturer with 80 welders. Moved them from AutoCAD to Inventor with parametric modeling and Vault revision management. Using Vault Copy Design led to streamlining of manufacturing, limited errors in plasma cutting, ensured proper fitment and allowed customers to visualize with 3-D renderings. I took a position as a Research & Development Designer. Joined Autodesk in June 2017 working out of Portland, Oregon.

As a manufacturer of any product, you may like to turn your ideas into machined parts using a familiar interface. Manufacturing sheet metal models no longer have to be a difficult and challenging process involving multiple platforms. Using Inventor software as a single system, as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection, you can complete the whole process with Inventor Nesting and Inventor CAM. With Inventor Nesting, you can optimize yield from flat raw material. Nesting studies also can be used to create and then update to reflect any changes to the design to optimize efficiency and reduce costs. After nesting, you can use Inventor CAM to create the computer numerical control (CNC) code that will ultimately turn Inventor designs into excellent finished parts. This class will share best practices for preparing your model, for using nesting to layout cutting patterns and minimize raw material waste, and for generating a toolpath for machining.
Nesting is directly integrated into Autodesk Inventor. The nesting of components is thus associatively possible, as is a faster calculation of sheet metal components and assemblies. Find out more about the other applications, features and benefits.

Free Download Autodesk Inventor Nesting Utility for Windows PC is CAD-embedded, true-shape nesting software that helps optimize yield from flat raw material. Available only as part of the Product Design & Manufacturing Collection.
Autodesk Inventor Nesting Utility is CAD-embedded sheet metal nesting software that helps optimize yield from flat raw material. Nesting Utility works inside Autodesk Inventor software so that nesting studies can be created and updated to reflect any changes to the design. Easily compare nesting studies to optimize efficiency and reduce costs, and export the completed nest's 3D models or DXF files for cutting path generation.
Any uniform profile material cutting can be analyzed with Nest 1D. Any material which comes in standard lengths or rolls like Rods, Beams, Tubes, Bars or any other uniform profile material lengths can be optimized with Nest 1D
Once the optimization has been done a report can be exported as an Excel file for printing, and distribution of further work. The report includes cutting instructions per stock length and also a total stock required area for costing or ordering purposes.
Besides being able to enter data manually into Nest 1D or reading in data from an Excel file, Nest 1D can also pull data directly from Autodesk Inventor Parts Only BOM. This speeds up the process dramatically and also avoids any finger trouble with data entry. More CAD integration is to be added soon.
I was looking for a tool lik this for a long time, and i have to say that Micrographics naild it. I use AsiProfile so i have to import my BOM List from Excel but works great. I have installt 4 Apps from Micrographics and had to contact them 2 times for minor questions. Everytime i got the answer and solution in no time. Pleas keep up the good work.
I can see potential in this tool. Very easy to use. I have been looking for a solution that has good interaction with inventor and also excel and this fits perfectly. Few things i like to see in the software are End cut reduction, ablility to consider same stock but different stock length(Like L angle 45x25x3 have 3 and 4.5 m stock length).
Hi Shamjith,Thanks for the great review. Regarding the end-cut reduction, thanks for the feedback, we will build in some functionality to cater for that.Nest 1D already caters for different stock lengths of the same stock number. Just enter it like that and it will utilize and pick the most appropriate stock length during the optimization process. Contact us from inside the app if you have any queries regarding this.
