dxf order to match nested sheet order

Post by mpoole32 »

This first screen grab shows the imported order of individual already optimized patterns by using the DXF Batch Processor Gadget. They are ordered as they exist in the folder by creation time\date and file name.

The second screen grab shows how after nesting the pattern order is different from the original dxf import. I've looked for ways short of nesting 1 dxf at a time to keep these in order but so far luck. Anyone have thoughts on how this could be done?

Not without writing or modifying a gadget to do it. The only way to do it natively would be one DXF "sheet" at a time.

If I needed to do it I would probably look at making a version of the DXF import gadget that put each file directly onto it's own sheet.
