Nesting and Toolpaths

Post by SuperDave »

I have another for Habitat 4 Humanity which requires a house full of cabinet doors and drawer fronts which I am donating. I have these done projects for them in the past but want to minimize my design/programming time. I have attached a couple of images of past projects.

I can scale the various sizes to H4H's specifications, keeping the various vectors in relationship. Then I can nest them for production. However, I would like to be able to have the toolpaths "follow" along with the scaled and nested vectors for each object...

Given the need to recalculate toolpaths after every minor change, I suppose that "wish" would require "parametric modeling" which is beyond the scope of Aspire, correct?

Thanks!
