I need google to translate to for me known language... Sorry...

P.S. What is 2440x1220 in dialog box?
P.S.S. Now that you solved the task in 2D, my next advice for you is to try to solve it in 3D with boxes... (not obligation, just my remark...)

Probably the dimensions of a sheet of plywood.

@well20152016:
How about irregular shapes?

I have a question:

(;Wood panel code
 ("CP09702220"  (10 . "Wood panel   970x2220")(20 .  970)(30 . 2220)(50 . 80))

 ("CP14602950"  (10 . "Wood panel  1460x2950")(20 . 1460)(30 . 2950)(50 . 20))
)
;Example: CP14602950 = panel from commerce 1460x2950 - first dimension is the mood sense

; blade thickness = 3 (variable)

(;cutting list: quantity - length - width >  first dimension is the mood sense
  (3 1015 390) (57 490 1205) ...
)
Find the minimum number of panel proposing the computation starting at the highest preference index with the minimum number of rotations of the panel on the cutting machine (i.e. see the sequence A-B-C-D-F).
Does anyone know a similar program (also to buy)?

Tested on my sample, this is the result:

Note that you must rotate all parts before "nesting.lsp" as it don't account for rotation - it just uses "move"... So if you have unsatisfied results this is the cause for that...

There is a rule in my algorithm that is : rectangles that have smallest height comes first to be nested and nesting is processed from that rectangle to the rectangle that have largest height (not width)... Nesting is processed in arrays of rows from bottom to top row... There is no rotations... So your example isn't quite adequate for this kind of nesting, and I don't quite know how to program it for your case, but if it makes you more happy, change height of main rectangle so that last 2 parts jump in... You will then see that there is larger gap on the right side from which you can shrink bounding rectangle... The result should be almost the same looking in wasted material areas...

Thanks Marko it is a good start.  :-)    But why not start from rectangles with largest heigth?

Thanks Marko it is a good start.  :-)    But why not start from rectangles with largest heigth?

If you try with various shapes of bounding boxes, you'll see that this is the most natural way... The smallest height on left from previous row is joined with little larger height - not the best, but that's the way the sorting is processed... So when next row comes the best way would be to join last from previous row with next row, but then nesting should be applied from right to left, and that means that no actual matching of left margin of bounding rectangle will be preserved while nesting... The way it's now operating is the most natural - with left margin, but as you can see in your example - often the routine is doing things making more waste of material than it should... Well, we have brains and we can make correct dispositions by intuition... It's just not possible to program that to computer in a few rows of codes... For me I am satisfied and how it works now - struggled a bit while finding correct alignment of next part with part from previous row, but I did it with using (vl-some) few times consecutively and I am pleased how results looked like in the end... Still for making it better I am afraid I need more experience and more brainstorming - predominantly theoretically... So the problem stays, but Lee offered some solution and I thought why not to do it straight away the fastest by coding this lisp...
Title: Re: Automatic Nesting for lisp?
Post by: ribarm on November 12, 2016, 07:54:03 AM
Here is my improved version, based on explained statement that the best is to array from left to right and then from right to left based on heights... Only what's more important I preserved left margin so algorithm is practically the same, only I changed arrays of sorting by groups (rows) so that it's now alternative...

Thanks Marko ,My level is limited, I can only learn about your lisp.


1, the area or the X direction from large to small array.
2, according to the order of the different working surface, the height is not more than the height of the ladder. The last loop to find the most suitable small rectangle into the rectangle.

Luciano, your DWG is showing the task human should do manually... No algorithm for this...

Marc'Antonio, I've managed to improve a little my version - added rotation functionality and changed a little sorting method... I'll attach DWG so that you can confirm slightly change in size of original master plate - should fit all pieces and waste of material is unavoidable - so this is as far as it can go for now by computation of lisp...

This is the result, but in my sample I do not need to rotate the rectangles, they are in the rigth rotation, grazie ancora.
Title: Re: Automatic Nesting for lisp?
Post by: ribarm on November 15, 2016, 10:30:11 AM
After more researching, I've found that alternative disposition of rectangles from left to right and then in next row from right to left has some lacks - while grouping in revising order groups are different than afterward row calculation as groups are alternatively reversed and therefore dimension in afterward row calculation may jump in from different group (next one) - this causes that method can't be reliable and therefore I've returned my code in previous state - sorting and disposition is going only from left to right by rows and height of boxes are growing constantly... My code revised now - look in my last posted colored code tag...

NICE lsp y'all!!

Tried for a bit to get the vars assigned and won't give.. responds with:

 Command: NEST
; error: too few arguments

[a b bp e eh el ell elll ew f h k1 k2 n n2 n1 s1 s2
ss1 ss2 t w x y yn filter obj1 po eminp emaxp maxp minp]

vlide responds saying the "t" var is incorrect.

just feel safer having those vars assigned Thanks

Really like it for cut file setup!

Hello

T   is not used in my LISP  above  !!!

It works in my laptop.

R U sure about it????

Must be the "t" is not a variable .. really WAY over my head!

          (t   
           (if
             (not
               (vl-some

had to play with it [takes alot for me to understand] still
like it very much but still would like to assign the local vars..
any help would be REALLY appreciated!!  :idiot2:

I've seen others which place a combined (setq xx nil..) later in the code. Why they choose this as it could clear vars out on other working pgms...  ouch

Very useful tool! I use this to rearrange how items are placed on a CNC for cut. The one thing I tried was to offset each for the cut-path to ease re-arrangement but it refuses 'group' items. The other, which would sell, is asking for rotation restraint or orientation to make the wood grain be in the right direction according to the 'Picked' Rectangle. Besides my comments, what you did engineered is very helpful. Thanks

Post by: ribarm on June 11, 2021, 11:29:17 AM
I've added error handler, calculation of UNDO steps after finish and changed order of generating "l" list of (bp dx dy) so that when first pass of (main) function finishes it checks from lower left corner of main boundary for "bp"s again and not as it was from upper right to lower left... That's one thing in main routine "nesting.lsp" and I tried to make additional "nesting-new.lsp" with (process2rec) function that would try to implement checking of relation of 2 rectangles in processing nesting - all I could think of is that with this checking it's sometimes different choice of processing order of entities from list "el"... Marc's example with bigger main boundary is solvable by "nesting-new.lsp" and first DWG is somewhat better with original "nesting.lsp"... If someone has something new based on "nesting.lsp" it would be good to try to improve it, or post an opinion of what could be better and (or) relevant to this topic... Thanks for attention...

Title: Re: Automatic Nesting for lisp?
Post by: ribarm on June 11, 2021, 11:29:46 AM
Quote
I've added error handler, calculation of UNDO steps after finish and changed order of generating "l" list of (bp dx dy) so that when first pass of (main) function finishes it checks from lower left corner of main boundary for "bp"s again and not as it was from upper right to lower left... That's one thing in main routine "nesting.lsp" and I tried to make additional "nesting-new.lsp" with (process2rec) function that would try to implement checking of relation of 2 rectangles in processing nesting - all I could think of is that with this checking it's sometimes different choice of processing order of entities from list "el"... Marc's example with bigger main boundary is solvable by "nesting-new.lsp" and first DWG is somewhat better with original "nesting.lsp"... If someone has something new based on "nesting.lsp" it would be good to try to improve it, or post an opinion of what could be better and (or) relevant to this topic... Thanks for attention...

Here is "nesting-new.lsp" (look on previous page for "nesting.lsp")

Look Marc', there were many attempts for this problem for solution to be found, but all up to now, they were just attempts... I believe that you can get your example solved with my previously posted code and picked smaller rectangle... But that's all... When there are more rectangles that vary in sizes, the task complicate enourmously... I was able to write 2 more algorithms that were similar, but not for nesting - they are for packing in 2d and 3d... I can only say that when you code for this, you must not apply both 2d entities along with 3d ones - they have their geometry specific properties and although you can have 3d algorithm - it does not mean it can be applicable for all... There were some attempts in history called "guilotine cutting" - meaning that when you cut, you can make knife go only straight until piece is choped... Also there were some called non-guilotine where you can position pieces differently than straight, but this thing also complicates tasks... There is online solution finder for big outiline where you can put integer up to 1000 units in both directions and search for all equal smaller pieces where largest piece size is smaller integer than smaller size of outline... Algorithm is probably the best you can use, but the code is hidden from public... For testing here is the link : http://lagrange.ime.usp.br/~lobato/packing/run/index.php
You may also want to read about nesting problems more - there are some articles on www, but I didn't find an ALISP example(s)... So, if you have a time and you are interested in this problem, you can dedicate your time and code for solutions... But be informed that task although may look simple and easy, actually involves deeper understanding of basic geometry and high math skills... So good luck (what can I say different...)...

The simplest way is draw a dummy line say from the corners for the gap required, should work, NOT TESTED !
