This video runs through a new app I have written to make it easier to process multiple nested sheets. It also allows the time for the nests to be shown on the Nest report.

There is a new "Reference Scale" command on the Transform submenu on the CAD tab. It is a simplified method to scale an object.

This is an update to an app I wrote a while back for IGEMS for water-only cutting of rectangles. I've added an option to either keep the jet on the entire time (chain cut) and do all the rectangles with one pierce, or turn off chain cut and do individual pierces per line.

This video walks through a couple of things to watch for if you are doing common line cutting with multiple heads.

This video covers the Zone Detection and Tool Optimization boxes in the Order command, and using the Tools command to change which head is used to cut a part.

For people with the APEX 60 5-axis device, this app will rotate a part through various angles to find if there is a rotation angle(s) that will not result in rewinds or singularities.

A video on how to change your default material cost, and set up a new "Quality" within a material with a different cost.

If you do a lot of common line cutting, you might be interested in the new "Split by Sheet" option now found on the Common Cutlines dialogue box starting in version R2024.2.3189.

In a follow-up to the slit cutting/open contour cutting from a few months ago, the Add Other Objects command under the Part sub-menu on the CAM tab can be used to add open contours to a part after you have created the part. This can save you from having to explode the part and re-create it.

Fusion 360 saves DXF scaled as centimeters. This video shows how to avoid this.

This video steps through two ways of piercing or marking a point with the idea that the point could be used later as a reference for manually drilling.

I wrote a little app for IGEMS that lets you play blackjack when you are bored. No real money. Just for fun. You can double down, but you can't split yet. If you find any bugs, or ideas for improvement, let me know. Any statistics you'd like to track, like wins/losses when doubling down?

How to calibrate the APEX 60 5-axis head using the MOVE controller software

This video walks through how to program slit cuts. CAD geometry that has the start point and end point not at the same point is considered an open contour. To cut something like this, when creating a part, you must use the "Other Objects" button to signal to IGEMS that you want to be able to add a toolpath to that entity.
