Close Open Profiles allows the user to close a gap in the profile (Note- This is not
designed to correct other types of open profiles like overlapping entities or improperly
trimmed intersections). Open profiles are indicated between two diamonds.
Part Cut Up is an option where ProNest will allow the user to cut parts into smaller
pieces and place them at different locations on the same plate or even a different plate.
Cut Simulation allows the user to view a simulation of the geometry of the current part
as it would be cut at the cutting machine.
Edit Cut Paths allows the user to resequence motions in the current CLC part into one or
more new profiles. This is an advanced feature which must be authorized.
Scale, when selected will change the dimensions of the entire part by a factor defined by
the user. After clicking on Scale, a crosshair appears. Click and drag the mouse (where
or how far the mouse is moved makes no difference) and a Scale window appears. Enter
a percentage value for the scale (200 will double the size, 50 will cut it in half), then click
on OK. The display will not appear different but measuring (Measure from the Tools
menu) will indicate the difference.
Scribe Text will write text onto the part for information purposes. This information will be
etched or scribed onto the part at the cutting machine.
Move Init Pt allows the user to select a new init (0,0) point for the part. The spot at which
the mouse is clicked can become the new init point or X, Y coordinate values can be
entered. The + sign representing the init point will be moved to that location.
Recalc Init Pt locates the (0,0) point to a specified location in reference to the part.

Entity Menu
Split Entity allows the user to split the selected entity, which creates a new point.
Split Profile removes the selected entities from the profiles they are currently in and
creates 2 or more open profiles.
Flip Leads will move the LI/LO from the interior portion of the profile to the exterior
portion, and vice versa, while maintaining the properties previously assigned.
Modify Leads allows the user to change the starting point of the parts lead-in and leadout; the new start point will assume the original start point properties if the start point is
moved into a similar situation, i.e. corner to corner or side to side. Otherwise, the
appropriate leads will be applied from settings.
Modify Loops will allow the user to quickly enter loops using the default settings.
Modify Tabs allows the user to add tabs to selected entities using the default settings.

Saving Changes
When finished with Advanced Edit, Click on the X to close or select File Exit. A screen
appears which allows the user to either save the changes for this part or to update those
parts already nested.

Properties
The following properties can be modified at the properties window (under Preview)
depending on whether a part is selected in the explorer view or the part list. See Chapter
