I have been playing around with the Nesting toolpath commands to create efficient "arrays" of toolpath operations for simple 1D routing.

It seems like no matter what combination of nesting sorting options I choose, I can always create better (more efficient) toolpaths by hand. This might always be the case, I dont know. This may be long winded but I'm just wondering if its possible to do what I am asking.

For instance, I want to route four (4), 4x4 blanks. Without nesting, I would put the 4 blanks in a 2x2 array with the lead in/out points all in the middle of the array so there is zero tool movement between parts.

If I was to nest the 4 parts, MC doesn't do anything with the lead in/out points (sometimes it moves 1 or 2 of them) but and creates additional tool movement/distance when moving from one part to the next.

Is there anyway to make this simple operation more efficient using nesting?
