Recently we reached an important milestone at Otimize Nesting. After receiving several feedback messages from our customers all over the world, either via direct feedback messages or via our feature voting forum, we conducted a short survey to understand deeper how our subscribers prefer to manage numbers (units, formats, precision, etc.).

As a result of this survey, we are pleased to inform you all that Otimize Nesting now supports decimal numbers. When you specify width, length or kerf (blade thickness) you can enter decimal numbers up to 4 precision digits. The following image shows a snapshot of this configuration:

Decimal Digits Configuration on Otimize Nesting

After creating the nesting plans, they will also present the part dimensions formatted accordingly to the configuration.

We have also plans to add support for fractions (like 10 1/8) in future. Maybe a mix of different formatting types would be also helpful! Please try this new feature and let us know the results.
