  5. Use the Extension
    To make the SDS Nesting Extension available as the nesting software, when Combining select Optimizations and select Extension as the Plate Nesting Software. "Extension" can be set as the default under Combining Optimizations in each module's (that supports combining) Company Standards. Now External SDS Nesting will be available when exporting the Combining nest request.
