box gadget multiples
I've just tried the box gadget and am wondering how to do multiple boxes from one sheet of plywood ? --- Is there a copy option ? I was thinking about resetting the origin offset for another copy , but it wouldn't nest things as efficiently as possible

With the square/finger joint option you can use the normal nest function or copy as many as you want by hand as that layout uses normal toolpaths. If you use the dovetail option then you can't move them from where the toolpaths are created as they use a special type of toolpath that won't see the moved vectors.
