Optimised nesting of tiling offcuts

Optimised nesting of tiling offcuts

Saving media by nesting different length tiles with Fotoba

What

Layout: Within the Alignment/ Nesting feature: Optimize Tile Positioning an option- Optimise offcuts - is available to nest tiles with different lengths alongside each other whilst still using Fotoba Marks. 
Whilst the shorter drops will need to be cut by hand, this saves media. 

This is available from V6.7.0 onwards

How it works

Layout: 

1. Import 2 images and and tile them
2. Alignment/ nesting window:  Select the Optimize Tile Positioning option and click + 
               











3. Select the Fotoba Marks
4.  In alignment/ Nesting window: Click Nest

Note:  Fotoba marks require same length files to fully automate the cutting process.  This feature involves a manual cut, but allows to use the media more efficiently, whilst still using Fotoba on most of the tiles.
