Autodesk Inventor Nesting Utility 2021

- After upgrading from 2020 to 2021, if you want to use the customer configuration created in 2020, copy the folders from "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting 2020" to "C:\Users\%username%\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting 2021."
- Adding the same shape but with different parameters to the Edit Nest dialog is not allowed.
- In the Create Nest Study dialog, the same packaging cannot be added more than once.
- Check-in of an INEST file will be blocked if its source IAM or IPT file is not checked in.
- If translation fails with the message "Problems encountered while saving the document", go to "C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\Inventor Nesting 2021\Sources\" and remove any unnecessary files.
- Some tables and graphs in the Example-template-full report template are empty. Use the default template (automatically loaded) instead.
- Cannot author a sketch containing a spline.
- Creating a 3D Model of a sheet as an assembly leaves invisible documents behind in memory. Use File > Close all to close these lingering documents.
- Turning on the Rotate 90, 180, 270 values for a nest has no effect if these rotate parameters are turned off in the nest's material definition.
- In the Create New File dialog box, only one template might be shown. Browse to the appropriate language folder to see all available templates.
- Multiple contours in DXF files will be treated as a single shape for nesting.
- Material and unit of the IPT source file cannot be modified in Inventor Nesting and therefore must be set in the IPT file itself. When you delete a material used by an IPT source file, you need to re-extract shapes from the IPT to restore the material.
- CSV export does not currently support field separators within values.
- To avoid read-only messages, be sure to start AutoCAD prior to opening a DXF source file from within Inventor Nesting (this is standard AutoCAD behavior).
- The 3D Model command sometimes misses the external boundary of some nested parts.
- Warning and error messages displayed during shape extraction and nesting are not localized.
- Splines in a DXF file are only extracted after conversion to polylines by first saving the DXF file in R12 format.
- Changing the default INEST template unit doesn't work.
- Layer names cannot contain spaces.
- Localization is not supported when editing configuration files for layer extraction.
- Undo and Redo might not always work as expected.
- To avoid creating redundant materials, postpone setting Inventor as your material Provider until you have selected all sources you want to nest in the document.
- In 3D Detailed/Compare View, switch configuration file, then re-extract source file, INV crash when Update command running.
