I'm new to VCarve Pro and I'm able to get jobs run but I'm having trouble nesting these files (which I have successfully cut separately) and running them. Here are my parts. As you can see they are all separated out onto their layers.
Next I group the individual parts so they SHOULD remain together when I nest.
Next I try and run 4 copies and next them.
Here is what I get.
Any idea why I'm not able to keep the parts together when they are nested? I'd appreciate the help so much.

Re: Problem with Grouping and Nesting
I have an idea why they do not stay together as a group. Apparently the software can detect parts and is not fooled by the grouping. In other words, it recognizes outer boundaries.
What you can try is to create a boundary a little bit outside of your parts group. Then group that with the parts. After nesting you can ungroup the extra boundaries and remove them.
It seems to work well.
I do not do nesting very often, so maybe someone who is a guru has a better solution.
curious though as to why you want to group them in the first place?
