Hobbyist (free license holders) can use this workaround: • Nesting Parts in Fusio...
The new Arrange feature can be used to nest parts in Fusion 360. In this tutorial, we'll take a look at how to auto-arrange parts on sheet goods, such as plywood.
Arrange serves as an efficient and easy workflow for CNC, Laser Cutters, and other machines that require flat layouts.
This concept is often referred to as "Nesting" or Nest. Speaking of Nest, there's a big announcement in the middle of the video ;)

This nesting feature may turn out to be a game changer for me. Trying to manually layout parts on cut diagram was so time consuming - this is an awesome edition. I don't use Fusion 360 to generate g-code for my Laguna IQ CNC and the bed s limited to 2'x 3' so will need to determine how I can next to smaller plywood or stock - I think I just do multiple sketches and pick which components I want on each sketch - is this accurate? I also still need to figure out the best way to export my parts into Aspire or vCarve Pro. Great work.

Hi Monte, there are two ways to export/output dxf for the arranged results: 1. While in the Edit Manufacturing Model environment, project the boundaries of arranged objects onto a sketch and then export the sketch as a dxf OR 2. Create a setup and toolpath operation for the arranged objects. Please make sure the sideways compensation is set to "Center" (for 2D Profile) or "Off" (for 2D Contour). Then you can PostProcess the toolpath by selecting one of the available DXF posts from the fusion post library. In the post dialog, you can set 'onlyCutting' = "YES" to get rid of the linking motion. And you can set 'includeDrill' = "NO" to avoid points at the drilling positions. To download and install the dxf post on your computer, please visit - "cam.autodesk.com/hsmposts?"

Hi Saeed. I would expect that to be more automated soon...but the easiest way to do that now is to create a new sketch and then use the Project command to project all the edges to the current sketch. That makes everything available in one sketch, where you can then export it as a DXF (right-click on sketch in Browser > Save as DXF).

Figured out a way to do it. Very convoluted though. Create a new component in the manufacturing space, start a sketch, project layout onto sketch. Copy the component projections to a new assembly sketch on a new sheet. Extrude projections and create a drawing. Hope it makes sense, I'm a relative newby. Hope your way is easier 😀.

I will go try and find out information on these methods. But, if you have a few more minutes and are willing to provide a little more help I would appreciate it, even if you don't thank you for what you did provide. I have to admit that I must not be proficient enough yet to figure out how to accomplish what you gave me instructions to do. I know how to project in the Design Mode but never worked in the manufacturing mode until following this video's guidance. So not sure how to export just the sketch in Edit Manufacturing environment. Links or guidance to any videos or instructions on how to do this would be awesome. As for method 2 still need to figure out how to setup a toolpath and the things you mentioned. Any links to this information would be helpful so that i could go learn. Thank you again...

@@robsandstrom9854 you're very welcome. Glad to help. Here are some good resources for Fusion 360 in general: 1. Learning Content - academy.autodesk.com/software/fusion-360 (you can find info about other Autodesk products as well) - Regarding Setup, Toolpath and NC creation - Go to the Intermediate Tab and refer to "43. Setup", "46. 2D Toolpath", and "49. Post NC File". You can also check out "43. 2D Cutting" on Advanced tab. - Projection of faces onto a sketch works the same way in "Design" and "Edit Manufacturing Model" Environments. I would recommend trying the DXF post method first. 2. Fusion 360 KZfaq Channel - kzfaq.info/love/iMwMz3RMbW5mbx0iDcRQ2g 3. For specific questions on Arrange functionality, you may post here - forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-feedback-hub/open-call-for-preview-feedback-arrange-feature/td-p/9673457 4.

Hi, can i input the quantity i want for each component when nesting? This way I would know how many sheets are needed for mass production of components Thanks :)

Since Arrange is disabled in the Personal License, what is the best practice currently for Personal users to move the stool's components into a flat stock for Manufacturing?

If you plan on doing it a lot then this addin is worth the 1 time cost: apps.autodesk.com/FUSION/en/Detail/Index?id=3399489440307590024&appLang=en&os=Win64 Otherwise, you can use the Align command or Joints depending on how many parts you have/whether you want to be precise about the placement.

I tried to Arrange using only bodies. In the dialog box it asks "select objects" and it would only allow 1 body............ I converted all the bodies to components and then it would allow as many components as I wanted to select. For some reason it doesn't work with bodies.

I had to do this to get the "Manufacturing model": Preview Features -> Manufacturing Working Model. Restart Fusion. But I don't have the option for "Arrange Feature" and there is no Modify->Arrange menu item in the Manufacturing model workspace. I have Fusion 360 2.0.9011.

Arrange is available with the Commercial Fusion 360 *Without* the Nest Extension. Advanced Arrange (confusing, yes, but different from Arrange) is only available with the Nest Extension :) None of it is included in the free personal use license.

Sry, I'm not following your question. Do you want to transfer dimensions manually onto your plywood? Or looking to layout the dimensions digitally (i.e. 2D Drawing)?

@@ProductDesignOnline Sorry. Say I have a cabinet I have designed and I use the auto arrange tool to arrange it all on a sheet of plywood. I don't have a CNC that will be cutting the material, I will be breaking it down myself. Is there a way for it to auto-generate dimensions on the layout so I can print it out and follow it like a set of plans?

@@rutgis77 thanks for clarifying! Not in the Design workspace, unfortunately. However, the Drawing workspace has a new Automated Drawings feature that can do what you describe (it may not be available on the free Personal use license... I'd have to double check). You can also place the sheet and manually add specific dimensions of you don't want them all for some reason.
