Count

Enter the total number of this profiling operation to be included in the nested sheet.  All control geometry in this profile operation is considered to be one count.  If you want different counts for multiple profiles, create a separate operation for each.

Priority

You can set a priority level for each part in the nest.  Higher priority parts will be nested first, beginning with sheet 1.

Orientation

Selecting Fixed does not permit rotation of parts when nested in the sheet.

Grain Direction

If Grain Direction has been specified for sheets (see Nest > Sheets), then it can be specified for any parts that require this control during nesting.  Parts that have a Grain Direction specified will be aligned with the Grain Direction of the sheet(s).
