Manual and automatic nesting of G-code for LinuxCNC/QtPlasmaC

Spent a couple of days to build a tool to nest G-code files for QtPlasmaC.



This is for you that do the plasma G-code in Fusion, for example.
Read in the G-code, read in many, place it on steel sheet.
Add your own shapes for cutting in the tool.
Automatic nesting to pack them on the sheet.
Seamlessly open in preview-window for cutting.
Use the laser on the torch to trace the available steel sheet.
Integrated in QtPlasmaC or as a standalone program on any python-capable computer.

Read the full description  github.com/MetalMusings/PlasmaNest
Get the code from there in the usual git way. 

Add one line in the INI file and you have it inside QtPlasmaC as a tab.
Add another line, in the hal file, and it fully replaces the CONVERSATIONAL tab in QtPlasmaC.
To trace the available cutting area there are a few more things to do, read on github.

Looks nice, if i can make some time, i will give it a try.
