    It would be nice if the DXF print / export function in CAM could incorporate the same nesting and sheet size options as the CNC milling section. Or have an option within the CNC section to directly generate a DXF without machine paths.

    This would allow easy export of simple DXF files to products such as the very popular Lightburn which do not understand the CNC paths output.

    I understand that high end industrial equipment is the target for CAM but I am sure there is a significant hobbyist market which does not have access to such equipment. All low end software that I have looked at can import simple DXF files.

    Hope this is of interest.

    You can Select/copy parts in a Cam section and paste them in a Cad section, to get the right nesting.
