I have a g-code file of say 10 parts nested together BUT the plate I'm cutting from has previous items already cut out of it. I could utilize the excess scrap and cut my 10 pieces but I do not want to make 10 individual g-code files. Is there a way to cut one of the nested pieces and then stop mach3, reset a zero point somewhere on the plate and cut a second piece and so on til all ten pieces are cut? Thanks for any input.

Re: MACH3 and nesting pieces
Rusty are you using Sheetcam in conjuction w/ Mach 3? If so you can just uncheck and individual files in Sheetcam, output your Gcode, reset X & Y and cut. Hope this helps.
