Has anyone had success with common line cutting using FLOW nesting software? I have been attempting to make it work for several months, have worked with FLOW and cannot get good results. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!!!!!
thanks

Hi Dan.
use on Flow Nest . Edit > Nest parameters.
configure the real measure of kerf...
other tip. configure lead in very small and lead out too
use stationary pierce on Flow Cut
common line cut are best to use on rectangles and square figures
try this tips and told me your result.

HI , all of my parts are rectangles, I have tried the above mentioned changes and I still cannot get a common line cut. even with a gap of 0.0000 it still creates a gap between parts. It will not create the common line between two parts.

I doubt there is an "automatic" way to common line cut. We make our own drawings by drawing the grid.
I space the lines at .040" to .050" wider than the part (depending on application and tolerance, extending the line .100" beyond on both ends, with a .200" line segment at both ends. I then path with no offset cutting all horizontal lines and then all vertical lines, or vice versa.
