Nesting Objects

Nesting fits as many objects as possible into a specified area, optimizing the material.

1. Select the objects.
2. From the Arrange menu, select Nest.
3. In DesignCentral, adjust the following parameters:

   	Selects the color of the objects that will be nested. If you want to nest all the objects regardless of color, leave All colors selected.
   	Sets the height of the panel in which the objects will be nested.
   	Sets the width of the panel in which the objects will be nested.
   	Sets the minimum space between objects after nesting.
   Break text	Separates all nested text into individual characters to save material.
   Free rotate	Rotates nested objects to increase the compression ratio to save material.
   Compress Ratio	Displays the compression percentage achieved by nesting the objects.

4. Click Apply.

   You can also left-click and drag the Resize Panel control point located in the upper-right corner of the panel area.
